GIS Media Training for Communities |
Contact:
John Emmanuel
Director of Information Services, Embert Charles, announced today that GIS is
organizing a series of community-based workshops which will provide a forum for
discussing major issues related to the role of the media in society and offer
training in writing, research techniques, and how to produce radio and
television features. The series will get going before the end of the year.
He added: “However, we want to go
beyond that. We want to go to
people who have an interest in creative outputs and perhaps identify, as a
start, a list of issues in the community that they want to highlight and
afterwards we at NTN and the GIS will give them the appropriate options in terms
of how they will tell those stories.”
NTN’s role is to increase opportunities for Saint Lucians to see more of
themselves and their various experiences on television as a rich alternative to
the largely American diet of programmes seen on the majority of television
channels available locally.
The
staff of GIS and outside media personnel will serve as resource persons at the
workshops. |
