Workshop focuses on reporting land rights [Southern Africa]

Journalists fluent in English and with at least one year of experience can apply for this free workshop in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Thomson Reuters Foundation, in partnership with Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, is organizing the workshop "Reporting land rights" July 31 to Aug. 3, as part of the Reporting Land Rights program.

The program will assist journalists to produce stories on property rights, whether they are covering business and industry, the environment, urban revitalization, indigenous rights, food security or other topics.

Participants will receive editorial guidance, an intensive workshop to develop stories and share relevant skills, and mentoring to help bring these stories to completion.

Travel and subsistence costs will be covered for participants in Southern African countries. A modest funding to help cover the costs of reporting will be available.

The deadline is June 4.
