Data Reporting and Fact-checking Training for Bulawayo Reporters
The data journalism and fact-checking training for election reporting is particularly relevant now because Zimbabwe is preparing for by-elections scheduled for March 26, 2022 and harmonized elections next year.
The goal of the training is to ensure that not only are the elections adequately covered in the local media, but that they are reported in new, engaging and shareable formats. In this case data reporting and visualizations provide the answer. Fifteen (15) journalists drawn from independent and public news outlets based in Bulawayo will be equipped with hard and soft skills to produce high-quality, fact-checked data-driven stories.
