Journalists Learning Exchange Workshop
Preceding the conference on Accelerating the End of Hunger and Malnutrition, IFPRI and FAO have organized a learning exchange workshop with selected journalists. The exchange will introduce participating journalists to analysis, tools, and storylines drawn from research to support the sharing of knowledge and research towards eliminating hunger and malnutrition through in-depth, evidence-based news reporting.
Journalists from South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa will participate in the exchange, learning how to use research materials in their reporting, engaging with researchers sharing their latest works, and providing their own insight and expertise on how to interpret and apply research storylines to the news cycle. Participating journalists will also file stories on the conference itself for their regular news outlets.
