Ethiopian Women Media Association

Following an official request from the Ethiopian Media Women Association (EMWA) to build the ICT capacity of women journalists, ITCA provided a 7-days training workshop on web based journalism and information society issues for 13 of the Associations members. It was held from 6-14 September 2004. The training comprised of lectures on web development, Internet Radio and Internet TV; Internet reporting methods for journalists as well as practical multimedia development skills. In Addition the Media Training Manual on ICTs in Africa was distributed to the participants. Each of the journalists demonstrated the skills obtained by creating their own websites and populating it with audio, video, photo and textual content.
