News processing

All general television channels establish their reputation and legitimacy on the basis of daily news programmes. The very nature of such programmes places the news editors and producers in a strategic position in relation to the public authorities, shareholders and the general public. Training journalists is essential in advancing pluralism and democratic practices.  
CFI is additionally present in these countries so as to ensure professional development, diversification and organisation of these teams.
