Lha in collaboration with the Association of Tibetan Journalists held a four-day workshop, Data, Investigate and Online Research to provide intensive training in journalism and reporting for Tibetan journalists and other interested individuals. The course took place at Lha’s Ahimsa House from May 21 – 24 and was led by Mr. Siddhartha Roy, a foreign correspondent at The Diplomat magazine and a Pulitzer Grantee.
The nineteen participants received training in optimising content for the web, creating content for social media and increasing engagement, researching and investigating using social media together with an introduction to investigative and data journalism and privacy for journalists. It was a delight to see the participants thoroughly enjoying their learning experience and we would like to thank Siddhartha for his time and commitment.
As part of this initiative, Lha was able to facilitate a similar two-day workshop for Central Tibetan Administration staff, working with Mr. Siddhartha, at the Department of Information and International Relations.
