UNESCO and SMEX are launching an Arabic-language online course and open curriculum for independent media, designed by working Arab digital journalists for aspiring Arab digital journalists.
Nowadays, citizen journalists and community media producers are going beyond blogs and Twitter, some of them leading fully-fledged independent media outlets, managing complex content production processes and strategic outreach plans. Often, they are reporting live from the scene with nothing more than a mobile phone reaching out to millions. With this in mind, and in a region going through many changes, comes a real need for independent voices skilled at telling stories of the day over the different media channels people are following.
Hence, UNESCO and SMEX joined efforts for an initiative aligned with both organization’s mandate to create an enabling environment for freedom of expression, with a special focus on youth and women.
