ARTICLE 19 TO HOLD ELECTION-MONITORING SEMINAR
ARTICLE 19 is planning to hold a seminar in Belarus next month on the role of the media in local elections. Held jointly with the Council of Europe and the Belarussian Journalists Association, the seminar will take place in Minsk from 26-27 September. It will introduce local journalists to freedom-of-expression principles and international standards regarding election reporting.
The seminar will also use local journalists' experiences as case studies, and include simulated scenarios to prepare journalists for real situations.
