Economic and Political Reporting from Southeast Europe

The news media in Southeast Europe are increasingly required to report on complex

economic, financial and political issues. Lacking the appropriate training, journalists are,

however, under-prepared to provide the public with an adequate coverage of economic and

political transitional process.

To foster quality analysis and reporting on economic issues, enhance coverage on topics

that are central to the region’s economic and political development and encourage regional

networking among journalists, the Robert Bosch Stiftung and the Thomson Reuters

Foundation initiated the Program “Economic and Political Reporting from Southeast Europe”

in 2007.

participate in the program. The program, run by experienced staff of Thomson Reuters

Foundation and Robert Bosch Stiftung, includes two courses of two weeks each, in the UK

and in Germany respectively. Participants will also travel to Brussels and Frankfurt to meet

with decision-makers and journalists covering European financial and political affairs.

The course will cover the following broader topics:

o  writing about emerging market economies

o  Markets reporting and covering companies

o  Practical exercises based on current European themes.

Participants will commit to a short story project during the program.

Requirements

been working for at least two years with a recognized publication, website, radio, or

television station. Applicants must have a portfolio that includes experiences in economic
