Ruken Barish, a representative of the Dutch organization FreePress Unlimited (donor BSJ), said that the strategy of supporting such projects is built with consideration of the universal training of journalists according to the "three in one" principle.
"The development of the internet requires the possession of text writing skills, audio and video training materials, their installation and post on a web resource," she said.
Known experts on journalism Gulu Maharramli and Zeynal Mammadli, who also teach in the BSJ, called for strengthening the practical side of the training process, greater emphasis on practice.
