The Reporting Change Project: Researching & documenting changes in the Middle East and North-Africa
Human Rights Watch and World Press Photo are organizing this event to celebrate their joint two-year project, ‘Reporting Change’. The aim of the project is to document the period of change in the Middle East and North Africa and to provide support to democratic processes in the area. While each organization focuses on their respective fields of expertise, the programs work toward a joint goal using complementary approaches — journalism training in the case of World Press Photo, and research and advocacy in the case of Human Rights Watch — to reach a target audience that includes policymakers, journalists, civil society actors and the general public.
