The fellowship included a workshop for journalists and media stakeholders from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka, as part of the “Code of Ethics to Improve Conflict Sensitive Reporting and Safety of Journalists in South Asia” project.

She was among the selected 31 fellows  – from journalists to academics and editors – who represent a wide range of roles and experience.

The workshop sessions covering conflict sensitive journalism, journalist safety, and self-regulation featured remarks from representatives of the Public Media Alliance; Media Action Nepal; the UNESCO Delhi Office; and the Press Council of Nepal.

During the fellowship, she contributed towards framing the Journalist Code of Ethics on Conflict Sensitive Reporting and the Safety of Journalists, which will serve as a useful tool for those working in the South Asian media landscape, particularly as it navigates growing threats to media freedom.

The workshop was organised by the Public Media Alliance (PMA) and Media Action Nepal (MAN), with the support of the UNESCO New Delhi Office & the UNESCO International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC).

Editor-in-Chief, The Straight Line

This IPDC/PMA/MAN workshop is an opportunity for me to contribute to devising strategies of “peace journalism” by balancing between development journalism and conflict reporting in conflict zones and its peripheries. It is the ideal platform for me to understand how to work on stories that help view the regions out of the security lens and focus instead on the lives of the people who live in these conflict-torn areas, including migrants and refugees.
