As part of our work to improve access to high-quality training and employment pathways for journalists in Eastern Europe, the Thomson Reuters Foundation is collaborating with journalism schools and newsrooms in Moldova. Our work focuses on smoothing the transition for young journalists from education to professional newsrooms, while equipping them with the professional skills to grow their careers. We aim to develop the journalism curriculum of journalism schools in the region and bolster pathways into employment for aspiring journalists. Through these efforts, we aim to strengthen independent reporting throughout the region.
We have developed a comprehensive guide to employment rights for entry level journalists and freelancers in Moldova. This resource was created in response to operational legal questions raised by interns and partners during our work in the country. It covers topics such as transition from internships to paid employment, key standard contract terms, benefits and entitlements in the workplace, intellectual property rights, and fair compensation practices.
By providing clear explanations of complex legal concepts in accessible language, we aim to empower young media professionals to advocate for themselves effectively when entering the industry. This knowledge helps create more equitable working relationships and contributes to a more sustainable media ecosystem.
