Eight Gambian journalists have completed a six-month migration reporting fellowship program organized by the globe media service with support from the international organization for migration.
The globe media service provided mentorship and coaching to the fellows to report on various aspects of migration, focusing on regular and orderly migration, irregular migration, and human trafficking. While highlighting the importance of the initiative.
Lamin Jahateh the Director of Globe Media Service, says Gambian media report only 2% of migration issues and the fellowship seeks to change that narrative.
Inaccurate or biased media reports can lead to misinformation, discrimination and unfair treatment. Modou Joof a mentor, urges journalist to report accurately on migration.
Momodou Lamin Joof, on behalf of the graduates explains the importance of reporting on migration, and the impact it has in raising awareness.
The media plays an important role as an educator on various aspects of migration. Despite the COVID-19 and travel restriction around the world, the trend of irregular migration to Europe continues.
According to the international organization for migration, over 3,000 irregular migrants died last year. This fellowship program also aims to address the issue of support reintegration processes and provide alternatives to combat irregular migration.
