Freedom of Expression in the Digital Age
The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) offered an online training course entitled “Freedom of expression in the digital age,” which was held from December 4, 2009 to January 22, 2010.
The course was open to journalists from across the Arab world, North America and Europe.
During the five-week course, participants developed skills in producing multimedia content, including writing and blogging for the Web. They also learned to manage online communities that attract constructive, responsible dialogue. Through an exploration of sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, participants learned how social networking is being used in news coverage and how journalists can best use citizen-produced content in ways that promote intercultural understanding.
The course was held in both English and Arabic to allow for dialogue between journalists from different backgrounds.
