Thursday November 21, 2002 – Award-winning Barbadian journalist David Ellis will facilitate the second national journalism training workshop scheduled to start here tomorrow. The two-day workshop will be held at the Bay Gardens hotel and will focus on writing and presentation of news for broadcast. Among the issues to be addressed are the legal constraints to investigative reporting in the Caribbean.
