Compilation of Briefing Papers on the Media Sector Development in Ethiopia Global Research /MIRH/19 August 2023By IMS Ethiopia IMS Ethiopia is leading the PRIMED’s ‘Coalitions for Change’ workstream and managing support for coalition building. Since 2021, IMS has been supporting dialogues and coalition-building activities, which brought Ethiopian media into dialogue with media and policymakers on media policy reforms and actors into closer cooperation in media policy reforms. It also supported a series of dialogues and coalition-building initiatives and worked with different media associations, government, and other civil society organizations, and helped initiate and create coalitions of Ethiopian media actors on matters of common concern, such as journalists' safety, security, and protection.IMS also commissioned studies, assessments, and learning briefs which have been reviewed by independent reviewers and subject matter experts and validated in stakeholder validation workshops.This briefing paper presents findings from studies funded by the PRIMED programme to discuss why conflict-sensitive journalism is important in facilitating conflict reduction and the peace process and informing future interventions in promoting conflict-sensitive journalism in Ethiopia.In this booklet, a compilation of briefing papers analyzes the state of media in Ethiopia and gives specific insights on media regulatory reforms, safety and security of journalists, conflict-sensitive reporting, and building sustainable media coalitions.You can download & read the full studydrive.google.com/file/d/1hg_1sagZU2zpC8pOycinp1Eo4eZ6wgHm/view?usp=drive_link-----------------#ያንብቡ #ይጻፉ #ያጋሩ #Use, #Contribute & #Share Website: mirh-et.orgFacebook: www.facebook.com/MIRHEthiopia Twitter:https://twitter.com/Mirh_eth ...

Court Reporting for BeginnersTools /MIRH/ 02 August 2023By Bob Eggington, mediahelpingmediaThis module was written for a journalism training course in south-east Europe which was dealing with the basics of newspaper reporting. Those attending had no previous journalism experience or training.Reporting court proceedingsReporting on court hearings requires an understanding of local laws and knowing what can be reported and what can‘t.Some journalists choose to specialise in court reporting and become experts in the field.Others learn about it through their basic journalism training courses and by covering smaller court hearings.All need to understand the rules, constraints, the law, what can and cannot be reported, and how to deal with the public after the court hearing is over.1: Operating within constraintsCourts of law are a controlled environment. Court reporters must operate within these controls.2: Know who is in chargeThe judge is in charge of the court and what happens inside it. The judge has to keep order and usually has the power to imprison those who show contempt of court. That could include you.3: Know the local lawsMost countries have their own sets of laws covering court reporting. You must know them inside-out. Journalists need to act within the law or they may end up in the dock themselves.4: Focus on factsThe most interesting elements in any trial are usually the verdict and the sentence. These will normally provide the lead to your story (assuming the trial has finished).5: Avoid trying to do the judge’s jobIn most countries there is a presumption of “innocence until proven guilty”. This should be borne in mind while a trial is in progress and reflected in your copy.6: Accuracy, accuracy, accuracyEnsure you get EVERYTHING right. Check names, spellings, titles and responsibilities. Fair and accurate journalism is the basic requirement.7: Keep a careful noteIn courts, as in all other reporting, you should make notes carefully and keep them safely. They may be needed later if your report is disputed.8: Never take sidesThe arguments used by the prosecuting and defence lawyers should be reported in an even-handed way, regardless of the evidence and what is said in court.9: Courts are also theatreDramatic performances by the judge, lawyers, or witnesses make excellent copy. Make sure that you capture all elements.10: Give credit where it’s dueTrials often hinge on a clever piece of detective work, or advocacy. Ensure you spot these and highlight them in your reporting.11: Disciplined reportingIt is not particularly skilful to report everything that has been said. It is much more skilful to use only the most interesting and significant parts of a trial.12: Be ready with the backgroundBig stories need big coverage. Before the trial, discover as much background as you can, and have it ready for publication after the verdict.13: The trial may be over but the story continuesSome of the most important elements of your story may be the interviews afterwards with witnesses, family, police etc. Make sure you leave the court in time to get the interviews.-----------------#ያንብቡ #ይጻፉ #ያጋሩ #Use, #Contribute & #Share Website: mirh-et.orgFacebook: www.facebook.com/MIRHEthiopia Twitter:https://twitter.com/Mirh_eth ...
