The journalists participated in a one day workshop today on emergency and disaster awareness organized by the NBC/MDI program/MCPNG and conducted by the head of the ABC Emergency Broadcasting.
The workshop is aimed at making reporters understand the importance of the role they play as a journalist and working in partnership with government stakeholders and NGO groups.
NBC journalist Rose Amos says it was a struggle to get information from the National Disaster Office and even more frustrating when the information obtained was not updated.
