Dear sir/madam,
It is my pleasure to inform you about the UNESCO Media Resource Centre (MRC).
The MRC has been working since 1995. Over this period we have conducted
various training seminars and courses for journalists. Journalists from USA,
Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Australia and New Zealand worked at the MRC.
Every month we conduct English and computer classes for local journalists.
Last year TV and radio courses were organized for students of journalism
faculties of the local Universities and for high school pupils at the TV and
radio studios of the MRC.
MRC has a permanent staff including the manager, public relations
specialist, translator, computer specialist, technical engineer, TV and
radio specialists. MRC has a set of modern computers, a TV studio with
BETACAM -SP and S-VHS equipment, a conference hall, where we hold press
conferences, seminars and training courses. MRC has been actively
cooperating with state and independent media organizations, with
governmental and NGO. Since 1997 the Youth Press-Club for journalism
students and high school pupils has been working at the MRC. We have our
own newsletter called "Info-Centre", which is distributed among local
media, international organizations, embassies and NGOs.
MRC cooperates with the Association of Independent Electronic Mass Media of
Central Asia (ANESMI), Centre of Women Journalists of Central Asia (WIMCA),
Association of Print Media of Central Asia (PMACA) and Internews.
In 1998 on the basis of the MRC we created NGO - "Central Asian Media
Resource Centre" (CAMRC). The main aims of the Centre are to enhance
professional level of journalists and to consolidate media professionals of
the region, to help journalism faculties of the local universities, to
render technical and consultative aids to mass media organizations. At
present we plan to organize training programs on the following themes:
Modern Management Technique in Mass Media, Survey of Media of Kyrgyzstan,
Advanced Journalism, the Development of Democratic Process in Kyrgyzstan,
Coverage of Gender Problems in Media.
Since local journalists are interested in raising their professional skills,
our Centre is willing to establish working relations with you and your
staff. We can cooperate in the following fields:
- in conducting joint training courses
- in sending journalists and MRC staff to overseas workshops
- in exchange consultations in Mass Media
- in participating in joint projects
We would like to know your opinion on the matter and about conditions of
programs of your organization.
UNESCO Media Resource Centre and journalists of Kyrgyzstan are interested in
cooperation with you.
Thank you for your attention.
With best regards
Cholpon Asambaeva
Manager of the MRC
