This training for the journalistic staff of Azerbaijan's public broadcaster ITV will cover the basic techniques of election reporting, with a particular focus on impartiality, neutrality and objectivity.
A BBC trainer will conduct the sessions, with the aim of encouraging ITV staff to adopt and apply best practices. A follow-up session by the same trainer will take place in mid-July.
It is anticipated that ITV will show better results in balanced and objective election coverage, representing a variety of viewpoints and providing a neutral forum in which an open discussion of policies can be held.
