Agencia Presentes will offer an online workshop for journalists working in Latin American media. It will consist of two virtual sessions during the third and fourth weeks of July. Registration is by selection process.
How should we approach news stories about the LGBTI community? That's the main question we'll address in the workshop "Present: Tools for Gender-Sensitive Journalism." The goal: to analyze how issues of sexual diversity—which are often made invisible or stigmatized—can shape the journalistic agenda and become ways to combat discrimination.
It is aimed at journalists and communicators working in Latin America.
Coordinated by Presentes directors María Eugenia Ludueña and Ana Fornaro, this will be our second workshop of the year. The first was held at the Ombudsman's Office during the week of International Women's Day (#8M) and focused on how to communicate about transphobic and transphobic murders. Last year, Presentes offered workshops at the Rosario Press Union, the Santa Fe Press Association , and the TEM Foundation (Tomás Eloy Martínez), in addition to a virtual workshop for journalists from Argentina, Peru, Paraguay, and Chile.
The workshop's key points
1) How do major media outlets cover LGBTI issues? Diagnosis and case analysis.
2) Theoretical framework. Glossary and definitions.
3) Towards good journalistic practices. Sources and protagonists. How to report from a human rights perspective. Mistakes to avoid.
4) Stories, news, investigations. Pre-production and pre-editing of notes (publication commitment).

–Monday, July 23rd, from 7 to 9 pm (Argentine time)
