The Daria Workshop Series is a training platform for budding journalists; helping them to connect to the reality of journalism practice, clear out illusions and identify their unique niche and place in the continued existence of their field of endeavor.
The programme will be delivered by trainers from Beyond Broadcasting, Premium Times and Daria Media.
The purpose of the workshop is that of a connector or a bridge from the surrealistic classroom career fervor to the real, demanding and definitely more exciting practice of the profession; to help them understand the ethics of the profession and the judicious applicability of these ethics even in a changing less ethical clime.
The workshop will also be exposing participants to the futuristic paradigm evolvement of the practice of journalism as a whole and helping them to not only accept these changes but also to be part of headlining these changes; pivots on an inevitably turning wheel.

Generally I don’t read article on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very compelled me to take a look at and do it! Your writing style has been surprised me. Thanks, very nice post.
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being stolen? I’d certainly appreciate it.
There almost no way to stop plagiarism. One could just make do with a few plugins out there that prevent it.
Wow! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Excellent choice of colors!
