Georgia: “Media Talks: How(not) to cover?” kicked off

On 27 May 2021 the series of webinars “Media Talks: How(not) to cover?” kicked off in Georgia.
The series of webinars are organised by the Council of Europe in cooperation with the Charter of Journalistic Ethics of Georgia (Press Council).

Up to 10 short webinars will be broadcast live on the Council of Europe and the Charter of Journalistic Ethics social media platforms. Each webinar will cover sensitive or challenging topics faced by journalists (coverage of children, religion, extremism, demonstrations, LGBTQ persons etc.). The webinars aim at guiding journalists on how to ensure ethical coverage avoiding strengthening stereotypes or causing re-traumatisation and multiplication of the violence.
Each webinar will be facilitated by representatives of Georgian and respective European Press Councils allowing exchange on good practices.

First webinar focused on coverage of children and involved representatives of Georgian and French Press Councils.
Improvement of the professionalism in the field of media is one of the goals of the Council of Europe Project “Strengthening Freedom of Media, Internet Governance and Personal Data Protection” (SMIP-GE), which is implemented in the framework of the Council of Europe Action Plan for Georgia 2020-2023.
