Features
18.08.2005 Five journalists have gone to Africa to build the capacity of local media to report on human rights issues through the Young Professionals International (YPI) program of Foreign Affairs Canada (FAC). Through this program, the young Canadians will be in Nigeria, Uganda and Sierra Leone, and Ghana until March 15, 2006. On the ground, the participants will work for a media company or local media NGO for eight months. Their main task will be to develop and implement activities to train local journalists to report more effectively on human rights issues.

Now, Bonnie Allen, Colleen Ross, Drake McHugh and Jaime Jacques – all experienced Canadian journalists – have joined the list of volunteer journalists in Ghana. Their main task is to work with JHR's media partners — typically the most popular radio stations, television stations and newspapers.
