Media Training Program

The Global Corporate Governance Forum and Reuters Foundation have launched a cooperative program designed to build capacities among journalists in reporting on issues related to corporate governance. Based on the view that “better companies make better societies,” the objective is to strengthen journalists’ reporting and investigative skills in light of this unique ability to disseminate information on corporate governance to the business community and to the wider reading public, and to make readers aware of company activities that can have significant impact on society.

Here followed is the list of the workshop the Forum has held and its planning for 2009.

1. Belgrade workshop, October 2007.
2. Cairo workshop, April 2008.
3. Mumbai workshop, July 2008.
4. Almaty workshop, October 2008.
5. Zambia workshop, March 2009.

Our Facebook-based “Virtual Press Club” was created as a communications vehicle for those interested in corporate governance reporting, and as a platform for updates on the status of the training program. Participants are encouraged to “meet” their peers across the world and connect with corporate governance experts, including those participating at our training programs as well as the broader community comprising the Forum’s Private Sector Advisory Group (PSAG). The Facebook page is also a channel for participants to provide comment and suggestions for the Forum’s Corporate Governance Media Toolkit, which is scheduled to be completed next year.

Please see Facebook guidance to open an account and join our Facebook group.
