Media Training

ESO organises workshops on cancer for journalists in countries with limited resources who face significant challenges in reporting cancer stories. These workshops provide journalists with a forum for discussing these challenges and sharing solutions and for honing their skills in cancer journalism. All journalists in these countries with experience of reporting on cancer issues are invited to attend these meetings.
