The Haitian Times to launch rigorous month-long training program to teach aspiring Haitian journalists

Posted

In a few months, The Haitian Times will launch a rigorous month-long training program to teach aspiring Haitian journalists the tools they need to practice the craft of journalism. In this multimedia program, we will explore the core elements of a story, writing, reporting and the ethics of journalism. We will train participants to use their smartphones to create articles, videos and photos.

At the end of each cohort, we will hire the best among them. Beyond meeting our immediate needs, this program will ultimately ensure that there is a pool of qualified talent for The Associated Press, The New York Times, Le Monde and a slew of international media outlets to rely on so that they can cover Haiti adequately.
