Session with the lead facilitator, Jonathan Chapman, Media Specialist of WaterAid UK through a visual presentationMONROVIA – A One Day Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Journalists Training designed to enhance WASH reportage into mainstream Media, has successfully ended in Monrovia, Liberia. The Training was organized and facilitated by WaterAid Liberia, bringing together at least 10 Journalists from the WASH Reporters & Editors (“R&E Media”) Network of Liberia. The WaterAid UK Media Specialist also stressed the need for WASH journalists to look at facts and figures, audiences, story ideas and themes, amongst others. The One Day Media Training is expected to improve WASH Journalists’ understanding of key WASH issues, inform WASH Journalists on how to find and present information in an accessible and simple manner and help Journalists capture WaterAid’s work and other sector issues using WASH data and telling compelling stories. The Training will further enable Journalists integrate WASH reportage in mainstream media, at an optimal level both to influence decision makers into accelerating improvements in WASH access and to educate and inform public opinion on their WASH rights.
