Aug. 29, 2008, 7:57 a.m., Posted by Knight Foundation – 0 Comments

On Wednesday, the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) Web site, ijnet.org, relaunched with new tools for their global group of journalists.

Site users are now able to set up a profile and use tools in Arabic, English, Persian, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Knight sponsors ICFJ and funds the Knight International Journalism Fellowships; you can apply here and see where Fellows have traveled on the interactive map.

In this video, watch Knight International Journalism Fellow Arul Louis talk with Dr. R. K. Pachauri, director-general of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) in New Delhi about media and climate change.

Per the IJNet.org e-learning post:


Knight International's Louis has been working with TERI to create new online resources for media. With TERI and other partners, he is leading innovative environmental programs for regional journalists in local languages. He also has helped the Indo-Asian News Service expand its environmental coverage.

 

Also in e-learning, the ICFJ will offer an introductory online course on investigative reporting for Arabic-speaking journalists; applications close September 5th. Details here.
