Joseph Poto Poto, program and communication officer at UNESCO, emphasized that this training was initiated to evaluate the coverage of the recent elections and correct the noted slippages for improvement in future instances.
"We have conducted a critical analysis of how journalists have covered the elections here. And we realized that there were a lot of slippages and professional shortcomings," Joseph Poto Poto informed, insisting that it is a post-electoral activity organized in the context of evaluating journalistic practices during electoral periods.
It was after conducting a critical analysis of the elections of December 20th that the United Nations through UNESCO, UNDP and UN WOMEN decided to reflect together with media professionals, so that in the future, such practices would not be repeated, he specified.
