The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) is partnering with the U.S. Embassy Conakry and the Office of American Spaces on an eight-month program that will help journalists strengthen their reporting skills in data analysis, fact-checking, and investigative reporting in the Sahel region.

South Asia has a vibrant media landscape; however, coverage of religion is often limited and only explored within the framework of major political events. Journalists are regularly censored by the government and often targeted by extremist and secularist groups for their work, preventing them from shining a light on issues affecting religious minorities. ICFJ will bring together a group of journalists and digital influencers in India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka and enable them to illuminate the underlying factors fueling religious persecution.  The program aims to create a lasting regional network dedicated to engaging audiences around news perspectives that embrace diversity and advance religious freedoms.

The International Center for Journalists, in partnership with PROTO, will host a six-episode webinar series focused on digital security; it's designed to support those reporting on sensitive issues in South Asia.
