Journalists and Government Public Relations Officers receive training
========//=======
A training focusing on how to conduct and give effective interview has been given to Journalists from various media houses and government communicators (Public relations officers) from several government organizations. The training which took place on the 26th of October at Harmony Hotel brought together a total of 20 high level journalists and government communicators.
Ato Samuel Kassahun, Executive Director of Transparency Ethiopia, remarked during his opening speech that media is an important stakeholder and partner in the fight to curb the rampant corruption in Ethiopia. The media has not only the role of informing the public but also is expected to play a vital role as a watchdog checking the responsibilities and functions of public officials. Although the media is supposed to involve at a higher level in the fight against corruption, he said, it has not been as effective as expected in the Ethiopian context. Discussing the role of public relations officers, he underlined their valuable role of bridging the information gap between the public and government offices. The contributions of the offices of government communicators would be immense in the fight against corruption if property used. Discussing the theme of the day, he noted that the unsatisfactory relationship between journalists and government communicators needs to be replaced with an amicable one and with an understanding that they are complementary professions.
The general purpose of the training was to contribute to the development of a smooth relationship between the two important categories of professionals and also equip them to conduct and give effective interviews. Mulatu Alemayehu (PHD) and Yohannes Shiferaw (PHD), both assistant professors at Addis Ababa University, provided theoretical training during the first half of the session to the journalists and the PR officers respectively.
The second half was devoted to practical session which brought both professionals under the same roof. Participants were divided into three groups each of which comprised both journalists and PR officers. After a through group discussions they made presentations on questions related to the present realities of journalists/PR officer relations.
