Foundation, ERTU and DW Academy Join Hands for TV Training Program
In the framework of their cooperation, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty (FNF) and the Egyptian Radio and Television Union (ERTU) are conducting a three week training program for senior Egyptian television journalists, producers and cameramen. The workshop is in line with a long standing cooperation between the liberal Foundation and the Egyptian Television. It will be facilitated by a team of experts from Deutsche Welle Academy, the training arm of the German public broadcasting corporation. The three week course at the ERTU premises in Cairo will focus on the production of television documentaries pertaining to environmental matters.
To discuss this project and future joint activities, FNF’s Regional Director Dr. Ronald Meinardus met with senior ERTU officials, among them Mrs. Nadia Halim, Head of TV Channel 1 and Mrs. Fatma Fouad, Head of Channel 2. "Professional training is a prerequisite for good journalism", said Dr. Meinardus. "We are pleased to continue our cooperation with the Egyptian government media in this important field."
