Seminars of Internews Kazakhstan
Internews Kazakhtan in order to
support independent TV and radio stations and to strengthen
professional skills of media staff conducts trainings, workshops and
consultations on various fields of media activities.
The program of professional
training for Kazakhstani TV stations staff became the first project
of Internews Network in Kazakhstan. In 1992 in Almaty we conducted
the first trainings on the basics of newscasts production. Training
projects for independent radio stations have begun since 1996. In
1998 we conducted the first trainings for journalists working in
Kazakh, and now we make an effort to raise the creative level of
newscasts in Kazakh as the state language.
Themes of Internews trainings and
workshops
• TV, radio and print media
journalism,
• Raising of professional skill of media staff,
• Increasing of financial stability of stations, sales of
advertisement opportunities,
• Technical issues, new equipment and technologies,
• Computer graphics and design.
Since 1998 Internews Kazakhtan has
also started providing local consultations. Group of our
professionals arrives to a local station, reviews its work, analyses
its management, program production, advertisement time sales etc.
That way we are able to work closely with the staff in their own
environments. Then, the consultants start trainings and provide
practical recommendations on improvement of station’s work.
Themes of Internews local
consultations
• Organization of the Newscast
service work
• Production of TV items,
• Production of radio stories and cutting,
• Advertising management,
• General management on TV and radio stations.
Since the early 90's, we have
conducted about 150 trainings, workshops and consultations for TV,
radio stations and print media staff. In total, approximately 2,500
journalists, cameraman and editors, anchors, engineers, specialists
in computer graphics, designers and advertisement production
specialists, managers of different levels from more than 200 TV and
radio stations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan
have participated in our trainings.
In the framework of the
educational projects, Internews Kazakhstan conducts training for TV,
radio and print media journalists, cameraman and editors, engineers,
specialists in computer graphics, designers and advertisement
production specialists, managers of different levels.
An important part of our
educational projects is distributing training manuals. We have
offered hundreds of copies to independent stations, universities and
organizations for journalism that support independent media. Our
books cover basic and advanced reporting, shouting, editing, and
many other topics.
Every year we expand specifics of
our trainings and consultations. Many trainings we conducted in
co-operation with other foundations and public organizations, such
as Counterpart Consortium, Eurasia Foundation, OSI, IFES, ABA, Voice
of America and many others. Twice our trainings were conducted in
co-operation with the Embassy of France. Our main partner and
grantor for educational projects is the United States Agency for
International Development, (USAID).
However Internews Kazakhtan is opened for collaboration with all
organizations and foundations, businessmen and sponsors. We are
always looking for new initiatives and welcome any proposals to
support independent media and raising professional level of private
stations .
