- Summary
- Journalists have a significant role to play in the HIV and AIDS epidemic, by informing the public and holding governments to account. This guide is designed to assist journalists and other media workers to continue their informed and considered coverage of HIV and AIDS and related issues. It forms part of a broader project run by the International Federation of Journalists and its affiliate unions to raise the issue of HIV and AIDS to the top of the agenda of all media. Based on in-country research from local experts, the project encompasses a "train the trainer" component, in which interested journalists learn about reporting HIV and are then qualified to run training for interested colleagues. The research has also provided a snapshot of HIV reporting in each of the targeted countries, further guiding the project and ensuring that the training package and the guide are locally focused.
