Port of Spain, TRINIDAD – Journalists from Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, St Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago are set to receive specialized training on trafficking in persons through a collaboration between the Media Institute of the Caribbean (MIC) and CariSECURE 2.0 – a regional project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
This initiative is designed to support the ethical and accurate reporting on trafficking in persons, ensuring that media narratives are both fair and informed by sound data. The training sessions will address the findings from a comprehensive media assessment recently undertaken by the project and conducted by MIC to examine whether journalistic coverage on these critical issues is fair, ethical, and data-driven.
The training kicked off with a virtual session on 5 June and continued this week with in-person workshops on 10-11 June in Trinidad and Tobago. The workshops, led by regional and international journalism experts and researchers, will cover critical topics such as legal and ethical issues, constructive journalism, data journalism, investigative and human-interest reporting, and digital/multimedia reporting.
