Students of the Department of Journalism at the University of Pristina” Hasan Prishtina “, were trained by former reporter of the New York Times and BBC, Nicholas Wood and Dren Gërguri – lecturer at UP.

Through this training, the aim was to expand the knowledge about the risk of fake news during reporting, as the phenomenon of “fake news”, is one of the challenges that journalism is constantly facing not only in our country, but around the world.

Students had the opportunity to talk about the consequences of misinformation, reporting standards, the importance of media education and other important topics.

AJK in cooperation with UN Women Kosovo has so far organized dozens of workshops for local and central media journalists, as this is the third training being held with journalism students.
