AMAN
organized a distribution of certificates
ceremony towards the end of a training workshop
that targeted 16 journalists in the presence of
Dr. Hanan Ashrawi, PLC Member and Chairperson
of the Boards of AMAN Coalition and MIFTAH.
Dr. Ashrawi
congratulated the participants on their
achievement while stating that the training
comes as part of AMAN’s and MIFTAH’s mission of
combating corruption and their belief that media
and investigative journalism are crucial for
exposing it to the public. She stressed the need
for the initiation of additional mechanisms for
combating corruption as means for protecting
citizen’s rights.
The training
helped to lay down a common understanding of
investigative journalism in Palestine. The
trainees were able to practice investigative
journalism in dealing with hot issues in the
Palestinian arena such as; the state of
insecurity, the misuse of government cars,
media, and health insurance.
