Evaluation • Other observations • The number of participants varied on the three days according to job assignments on that day.( More attendees on first day than last day) • Both speakers and participants expressed that more time for discussions should be allowed • Some participants preferred the Workshop to be launched on Saturdays and some preferred the speakers could stay longer after the seminar

  22. Discussion & Recommendations • Reasons of Absence from the Workshop of the Participants • Have to cover news in the mornings • Have to go overseas for media coverage • Attending workshop on consecutive three Thursday mornings is quite demanding

  23. Discussion & Recommendations • Topics of the Workshop • Directly related to daily work of media workers instead of theory discussion

  24. Discussion & Recommendations • Some presentations were over-run • Insufficient time for discussions • Suggestions • Arrange fewer topics in one session • Allow more time for in-depth discussion for each topic
