A three day workshop on developing media professionals skills to better serve sustainable development was recently organised with UNESCOs support in the Lebanese capital Beirut.
"We are involved therefore we have to raise our voices" said the media professionals proposing eighteen recommendations aiming at improving the way the public sees development. Recommendations included:
.advancing issues of development on the priority scale of society through better promotion.
.asking countries to provide all kinds of support to media and journalists to help in spreading
the message more efficiently
.adopting preventive journalism and help raise awareness rather than tackle problems.
