This is the first time that I'm engaged in this kind of [long-form] storytelling. It is really exciting! I learned a lot from this program and it will help me become a true multimedia journalist.
– Gabit Bokenbay, Reporter at Qazaqstan TV

The program will recruit up to 10 U.S. media experts who will provide tailored coaching and guidance to as many as 20 broadcast and online newsrooms to help them overcome their unique challenges and attract Kazakhstani audiences.
