The idea to hold this workshop for Cypriot journalists was first discussed in March 2007 during the Athens Journalist Symposium, sponsored by the U.S. Embassy’s Bi-communal Support Program in Cyprus. The Symposium brought together journalists from both sides of the “Green Line” as well as from Greece and Turkey in order to have an in-depth discussion on issues of mutual concern such as: questions of objectivity when covering conflict, representation of the Cyprus issue in the media, as well as the importance of maintaining meaningful collaborations among journalists working in the region. The need to establish a forum for conflict sensitive reporting was also discussed at length.
