Persian: Business and Economic Reporting Modules
ICFJ has developed four training modules on business and economic reporting in Persian. These self-study courses engage participants in interactive learning activities at their own convenience. The first module, "An Introduction to Business Reporting and Writing" was launched in May 2008. ICFJ has recently launched the second online business and economic reporting courses in Persian.
The first course covers:

- Developing reliable sources for business news
- Avoiding and resolving ethical dilemmas
The second course covers:
-
Economic terms and trends such as GDP, Trade balance, exports and imports.

Two additional modules will focus on economic international financial mechanisms and comprehensive multi-sourced business stories.
