US sponsors workshop on election reporting
PESHAWAR: Veteran US journalist and author Arnold Isaacs on Tuesday conducted a daylong training workshop on ‘election reporting and investigative journalism’ with local journalists.
The workshop was part of training programmes on elections-coverage being sponsored by the US Embassy throughout Pakistan from October 28 through November 9.
Journalists have a responsibility not to take at face value the claims of parties or candidates, but to investigate and verify the truth of what they say,Isaacs told the participating journalists here.
“They should always ask themselves to answer those questions not answered elsewhere, to tell their readers and audience what all the candidates are saying and what all the issues are,” the veteran American trainer emphasized.
