The Afghan Journalists Safety Committee (AJSC) conducted a three-day training programme titled “Programme Hosting” to strengthen the professional skills of journalists and media workers.
The programme was held for 100 journalists, including 40 women and 60 men, from 91 visual and audio media outlets in Kabul, Herat, Ghazni and Helmand provinces. The training is expected to be extended to another 60 journalists in the near future.
Participants learned radio and television presentation skills, voice enhancement, correct pronunciation, effective delivery, confidence-building, body language and audience engagement. The training also covered programme design and production, research and preparation, scriptwriting, time management, the pre-production and post-production stages, and the use of technical equipment.
Other topics included producing programmes outside the studio, technical management and live broadcasting, interviewing and questioning techniques, active listening, managing discussions and debates, ensuring equal participation, handling disagreements, and facilitating group discussions.
