The International Press Centre<\/a> (IPC), the lead partner of component 4 (Support to media) of<\/p>\n

the European Union Support to Democratic Governance in Nigeria-Phase II (EUSDGN II)<\/p>\n

project has launched a four-series specialised skill-enhancing sessions to equip and enable<\/p>\n

female journalists to report public interest issues around the 2023 electoral process from a<\/p>\n

deepened gender perspective and using data skills and investigative methods to challenge<\/p>\n

stereotypical reporting of the electoral process.<\/p>\n

Organised in partnership with the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), the<\/p>\n

first leg of the training was held in in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, on 7 November, 2022 with<\/p>\n

32 female journalists in attendance, predominantly from the southern parts of the country,<\/p>\n

while the second training which is expected to be attended by 35 female journalists selected<\/p>\n

from the northern parts of the country, will be held in Abuja on 21 November, 2022.<\/p>\n

The specific objective of the media component is to ensure that, \u201cThe Media, including New<\/p>\n

and Social Media, provides fair, accurate, ethical and inclusive coverage of the Electoral<\/p>\n

Process\u201d.<\/p>\n

The overall goal is to \u201cSupport the consolidation of democracy in Nigeria with the media<\/p>\n

(broadcast, print and online media) helping to facilitate the key ingredient of credible<\/p>\n

elections through engagement and professionalism in coverage and reportage of the electoral<\/p>\n

processes\u201d.<\/p>\n

The IPC initiative aims to position female journalists to deliver impactful, public-interest and<\/p>\n

investigative reporting of the electoral process especially by incorporating the use of data<\/p>\n

tools in reporting the electoral process and the elections. The sessions are targeted to place<\/p>\n

female journalists at the frontline on elections reporting to write and produce special reports<\/p>

\r\n

that is professional, inclusive, conflict-sensitive, fact-checked and data driven.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Participants at the trainings would be required to pitch impactful story ideas for which the<\/p>\n

resource person shall be providing mentorship guide and editorial assistance.<\/p>\n

The Executive Director IPC, Mr. Larne Arogundade in a statement said that \u201cwithin the<\/p>\n

framework of supporting the media by improving the gender stereotyped representations of<\/p>\n

women\u2019s political participation, the skill-enhancing session for the journalists is imperative to<\/p>\n

re-direct and prospect opportunities for new impactful and professional reporting of the<\/p>\n

electoral process while empowering female journalists as agents of change&quot;.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Motunrayo Joel, Deputy Editor Africa- Check, Nigeria, Dr. Titi Osuagwu, University of<\/p>\n

Port- Harcourt, and Taiwo Obe, Founder Journalism Clinic, facilitated the first training in<\/p>\n

2023 Elections: According Priority to Issues of Women and other underrepresented groups\u201d<\/p>\n
