Gambia | Training on migration in the media of several African countries as part of the Dialogue Migrations project

The media coverage of migration is often very low and, where it exists, it mostly reflects a pejorative and distorted image of migratory phenomena.

In this context, CFI wishes to train journalists in order to deconstruct this pejorative idea of the subject. At the same time, the agency wants to mobilize various actors and media specialists (journalists, journalism students, media managers, etc.). to reflect on possible developments in the media coverage of migration.

For this mission, TDS led the training of 10 journalists , bloggers and women bloggers in the balanced treatment of issues related to migration and the production of content on migration, especially on the most vulnerable migrant populations (women, minors, minorities); 

Following the training, follow-ups and coachings were conducted in order to support the media in the production of new content and strengthen them over time.
