The three-day, on-site/online workshop covered the basics of business and economic reporting along with best practices of writing and reporting financial stories. The program also covered new media tools used in digital reporting. The workshop included presentations, discussions, practical examples, and exercises. Speakers in Prague, Kyiv, Washington D.C., and elsewhere in the U.S. led online training sessions and engaged journalists in hands-on activities, assisted by a local coordinator.
