In complement to the
previous piece about the
Press Association’s training programs, here are a few very practical videojournalism lessons gathered live from the video storytelling class taught by David Dunkley.
From dotjournalism.co.uk: "The Institute of War and Peace Reporting (IWPR) has finally been forced to temporarily close its training project in Baghdad over fears for the safety of its journalists and students. The team was four days into a new three-week training project with a group of Baghdad journalists, but their base in Baghdad was closed by the IWPR board when staff received intelligence about planned attacks on foreigners in the Mansour region of the city. "What really finally pushed us out was the increase in house invasions and abductions," said Maggy Zanger, training director for the IWPR's Iraq project."

The Institute for War & Peace Reporting (IWPR) launched on January 19, 2004 the « Iraqi Press Monitor ». The bulletin will feature the top 7 stories of the day, along with a political cartoon, and include details of the newspapers they appeared in. The IWPR Iraqi Press Monitor is published five days a week. Monday through to Thursday, the service will focus on key news stories, while on Friday it will review in detail the leading opinion pieces of the week.
