The main focus of the course is the actual writing and reporting of news, as practiced by Reuters and other global agencies. Practical exercises form the core of the programme, with an emphasis on improving basic reporting and writing skills including accuracy, impartiality, speed, clarity and structure. The course will help journalists recognise their good habits and provide them the time and space to work on their weak points, within a mentored framework. 

This is a residential course that will take place over five days in a conference centre near Dhaka. Thomson Reuters Foundation is offering bursaries for this course. Bursaries cover course fees, accommodation, all meals and transport to and from the venue.
