When WAN-IFRA set up the Brain Trust in 2012, it did so with the intention of bringing media professionals together to share insights and information in an inspiring, multi-cultural environment. The recent Media Professionals Program event in Myanmar was an occasion for education, awareness raising and exchange.

“The Palestinian media portray stereotypes of women as sisters, daughters and wives of a male hero, or we are the victims who cry and weep after the death of a beloved one or over a demolished house.” To challenge such stereotypes, Wafa’ Abdel Rahman decided to launch NAWA, a women’s news agency in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

WAN-IFRA has launched the latest phase of its ground-breaking professional development programme for media professionals in Southeast Asia with a call for participants from Cambodia, Myanmar and Vietnam.

The World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) is pleased to invite mid-level media managers from Cambodia, Myanmar and Vietnam to apply for a groundbreaking professional development programme.
