OSCE promotes professional internet journalism in Moldova
CHISINAU, 20 September 2010 - An OSCE training seminar that started in Chisinau today aims to promote a professional and profitable internet media.
"Internet media provides journalists with the opportunity to deliver a message that can be viewed from anywhere in the world. This seminar focuses on how an internet media outlet can be both professional and successful," said Philip Remler, the Head of the OSCE Mission to Moldova.
The seminar, jointly organized by the Office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media and the OSCE Mission to Moldova, brings together 20 participants from across Moldova, including representatives from the Transdniestrian region.
"Sustainability and marketability have a specific character for internet-based media," Remler said. "Small markets, such as the one in Moldova, present a challenge to media in remaining financially viable and independent."
The United States financed the seminar, which is being taught by international and Moldovan experts.
