Investigative Journalism Training to Counter Russian Messaging in the Baltics

The U. S. Embassies in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia aim to offer a 12-month innovative, multi-phased investigative journalism training program for early and mid-career Russian-language journalists and other media professionals working on Russia’s periphery.

As Russian propaganda and misinformation

multiplies, the media in all three countries need the skills and tools to counter it with fact-based, credible news reporting.

The program would also build a more mature, proactive 21st century media landscape in all three countries.

The ideal program will include in-country training/workshops in all three countries, cash reporting awards for journalists with realistic investigative reporting project ideas and opportunities to pursue them, and study trips to the United States to visit newsrooms, journalism schools and new models for funding and delivering quality journalism in the digital age.

The successful program should also include methods for connecting alumni of the program and ongoing networking both among the three countries and with U. S. trainers/experts/contacts for project help as well as source and audience development.

The program should allow flexibility of focus, needs and activities in each country.

Programs that include local partners in any or all of the Baltic countries are also welcome.
