Welcome to TrustMedia’s new weekly blog! Each week we’ll update you on all the news from TrustMedia, including upcoming projects, new courses and news from the team in Canary Wharf.
It’s certainly been an eventful few days in London. We were glued to our news monitors as reports of the London riots came in and plumes of black smoke emerged from a building in the near distance, but we’re feeling much encouraged both by the lovely messages of support we received from our TrustMedia Alumni and by the army of volunteer cleaners who’ve come out in full force with their brooms for operation riot clean-up!
Aside from that it’s business as usual at TrustMedia. This week we’ve been busy working on our forthcoming Egyptian Elections website, due to launch this autumn. The site will be a comprehensive guide to the elections, featuring profiles of candidates, commentaries on the electoral process and of course the results as they come in. It’ll be the go-to place for Egyptians looking for information about the election with regular contributions from local journalists in Egypt.
We’re also excited about new content partnerships we’ve confirmed with a number of great NGOs and news websites including International News Safety Institute (INSI), The Baron, Forum for African Investigative Reporters (FAIR), International Press Institute (IPI) and International Freedom of Expression Exchange (IFEX). That means we’ll be featuring their articles and news on the TrustMedia website, so keep an eye on our news page for more breaking stories and features on the state of the press worldwide from our new partners.
Last but not least TrustMedia have announced some great new journalism training courses in Cairo, Colombo and Istanbul; check out our Courses page for more information about each course and how to apply. We’ve uploaded a couple of new videos made at two of our Journalism training courses in China, so take a look at our Multimedia page for media insights from the perspective of our Chinese Alumni.
Until next week,
The TrustMedia Team
