Training for media managers begins

AMMAN — Following the “successful” start of a training programme for mid-career journalists, a new course for media managers and leaders began Sunday in Amman, according to a UNESCO statement.

Under the framework of the EU funded and UNESCO Amman Office implemented “Support to Media in Jordan” Project, CFI, the media cooperation agency at the French government, began a training programme for media managers at the SAE Institute.

Four “master classes” in February, March and April will train approximately 35 media leaders on how to organise a “360 degree newsroom” and measure multimedia audiences. The courses will also offer tools for digital innovation and supporting effective change management in the newsroom, the statement said.
