How will we recruit the less traditionally journalistic types (TikTokers etc)? https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078023648 2022-03-04 14:37:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078023648 If USAID wants something very different from M-TAG, the "alternative" part of this objective is key. I.e., not traditional outlets https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078024697 2022-03-04 14:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078024697 Are there things we wished to do with MTAG in this area but didn't have time or funding to do? https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078024853 2022-03-04 14:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078024853 https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078025021 Would the "social communicators" that SAFE works with qualify here? Or are we looking to work with more traditional types of media?]]> 2022-03-04 14:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078025021 Working with the Ethics Charter https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078026651 2022-03-04 14:39:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078026651 What are some issue areas for "communities of action" mentioned in RFI? https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078027588 2022-03-04 14:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078027588 Can we replicate SMS approaches (Serbia) on the business model side? https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078029971 2022-03-04 14:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078029971 "researching the information sector" - this could be Zink https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078030967 2022-03-04 14:41:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078030967 From RFI, we suggested legal consultations for journalists and information/media literacy training (perhaps also for journalism students) https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078031173 2022-03-04 14:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078031173 We agree that the media in Georgia today is at war to protect their rights and disseminate objective information. Opponents are both local authorities and Russia (their interests and strategy often coincide) Like conventional warfare, information warfare is much more effective and has fewer losses in small groups, targeted combat. For example, sinking one giant warship is much easier for the enemy and more unprofitable for us than destroying many small warships - the same is true in the media field, instead of investing in one big media outlet, it is better to have many small media outlets.Therefore, there is a need for start-ups: creating new and innovative possibilities of creating new valuable and easy channels for distribution of information - be it tiny media outlets, bloggers, citizen journalists... Here we need to think of a valuable partner and innovative methodology. But at the same time we should not abandon the traditional media - they need funding for content production and advice on new formats, techniques. https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078031708 2022-03-04 14:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078031708 would partnership with ICNL (maybe wrong acronym) or some other partner I've seen in recent civil society proposals add value in terms of legal support for journalists? https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078032408 2022-03-04 14:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078032408 Bloggers' awards/community (formal) https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078032678 2022-03-04 14:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078032678 Expected result of "Persistent, effective and strategic advocacy for media freedom and access to information" -- what type of advocacy efforts are already existing, do media function in any type of coalition to advocate for media freedoms, do we have opportunity to add value here https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078035077 2022-03-04 14:43:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078035077 https://padlet.com/ebrandt26/w0goeawdqrcisnup/wish/2078035651 Is MEC still around?
