As part of the World Press Freedom Day commemoration in Jakarta from May 1 to 4 co-organized by UNESCO, the Indonesian government and the Press Council, Facebook will facilitate a workshop called Training and Tips for Journalists on Facebook on May 2 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. The workshop will discuss how to use Facebook tools and platforms to do their jobs from sourcing story ideas to engaging with their audiences.
Reporters or editors who are interested in joining the workshop have to submit their curriculum vitae to Ming Kuok Lim (mk.lim@unesco.org) with a copy to Shuai Zhong (s.zhong@unesco.org) and Jennifer Jenkins (Jenkins@fb.com) by April 26. Selected participants will be notified on April 28.
The World Press Freedom Day will also present the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize Ceremony in Jakarta this year. The prize is named in honor of Guillermo Cano Isaza, a Colombian journalist who was assassinated in front of the offices of his newspaper El Espectador in Bogotá in 1986. This year, the award goes to an imprisoned Eritrean-Swedish journalist Dawit Isaak, who was arrested during a media crackdown that occurred in Sept. 2001. The last time he was heard from was in 2005. His present location is unknown.
