Seminar on Media Professionalism during Election Campaigns will be
held at Caucasus Media Institute on April 13, 2007. The seminar will
be a practical activity aimed at finding technical solutions for
professional coverage of the forthcoming parliamentary election.

Mr. Aled Eirug, Former Head of News & Current Affairs at BBC Wales,
UK, and Mr. Gie Meeuwis from SPLIT SCREEN Media Consultancy and
Productions, Belgium will work together with local experts and media
actors. The plenary sessions and working groups will deal with the
following topics: how much coverage for which candidate? Media coverage
and the weight of parties in society, how to approach the participation
of candidates in entertainment and other non-political programmes,
and what technical solutions are there for ensuring balanced coverage
on a day-to-day basis?

The project is funded by the Council of Europe as part of its Action
Plan to provide support for Parliamentary elections in Armenia.
