The International Center for Journalists is announcing the second year of a three-year exchange program for Georgian journalists, funded by the U.S. Embassy in Georgia through the Public Affairs Section, and implemented by ICFJ.
Knight International Journalism Fellow Jody McPhillips completed nine months of journalism training in Georgia in 2005, partnering with the Caucasus Center for Journalism.
Knight International Journalism Fellow William Jones completed two months of journalism training in Georgia in 1996, partnering with the Society of Georgian Journalists.

Sponsored by the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund, this program was designed to boost the capacity and motivation of journalists in the Caucasus region to report on conservation of biological diversity. The program was tailored to address the key issues facing each country, such as better management of protected areas, increasing the number and size of protected areas, controls on damaging activities, and other conservation issues of public interest.
