Zoom Online
On May 26th, as a part of the call for entries for LMAAGS 2022, “Gender Sensitive Reporting in Regional Media”, an online workshop for the media from the five southern states was organized. Laadli Media Advocacy Initiative has been working closely with media across the country to strengthen and build the capacity of journalists and create a trained pool that can develop gender-sensitive and inclusive reports on a variety of subjects. The effort is in recognition of the lack of a vigorous and dedicated curriculum in most media and journalism schools and is aimed at mainstreaming gender discourse in the media and eventually a larger population. Through this workshop, it was aimed to reach the journalists from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka with a dual objective of acquainting them with nuances of a well-crafted and gender-sensitive story, as well as inviting them to send their current work as entries for the Laadli Media Awards.
