ICFJ et le Centre d’études des Sciences et Techniques de l'information (CESTI) ont lancé une plate-forme d’information en ligne pour les blogueurs sénégalais qui couvrent la campagne électorale et l’élection présidentielle au Sénégal. La plate-forme est hébergée par le site du CESTI et vise à créer un espace permettant aux blogueurs de diffuser et de partager leurs articles sur la campagne électorale qui a débuté le 5 février et qui se termine par l'élection présidentielle dont le premier tour est prévu le 26 février.

The University of Guadalajara’s Digital Journalism Center, launched by Knight International Journalism Fellow James Breiner, is now offering the first online master's degree in digital media in Latin America.

“This new degree is particularly important because students can access the training they need from anywhere,” said Rosalía Orozco, director of the Digital Journalism Center.

The first message came by text on October 17 from a cell phone in rural Indonesia, and it quickly got results – a surprising and encouraging turn of events for the new citizen journalist who sent it.

“One hundred residents of Sei Enau village … are defending their lands,” it read in the native Indonesian language. It was the very first SMS message sent through a new communications system developed by Knight International Journalism Fellow Harry Surjadi, in partnership with Ruai TV and Internews.

Two ambitious projects by Turkish journalists are putting a new ethics code to work – carrying it beyond the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) programs that inspired it into newsrooms across the country and onto a new website that challenges journalists to live by it every day.

An association of Turkish media published the 40-page “Ethics Code for Journalists in Turkey” and sent copies to more than 50 news outlets.
