Training in investigative journalism on corruption issues

The Seminar took place in a Central Bosnia’s town Teslic from 06 September to 09 September 2002.

This project has successfully determined the trouble spots in BiH investigative journalism related to corruption issues. The impact was to raise awareness and locate the areas where corruption is most widespread. That is of direct benefit for the journalist as well as the general efforts to combat corruption in BIH. A pool of experts (Eva Vajda, Igor Gajic, Claudio Weber Abramo and other lectureres) provided the a very effective training, which helped BiH journalists to more effectively deal with problems such as: identifying corruption, locating the information (official and alternative sources), source investigation and source protection, legal corridors for investigative journalists and prosecution of journalist.

Positive aspects were establishing of country-wide co-operation among journalist and between journalist and TI BiH, almost as an informal network. The Seminar took place in a Central Bosnia’s town Teslic from 06 September to 09 September 2002.
