Media world: a contest in no way casual 19/02/2010 | 13:44:32

The American embassy in Antananarivo organizes a contest for Malagasy journalists in order to promote enhanced and responsible professionalism

The contest is definitely original. Promoters deliberately chose to address particular themes excluding the political crisis, as humanism, culture, natural disasters, education and healthcare.

The contest is opened to reporters from TV and radio, written local and online press, but personal weblogs or blogs must keep out.

The medal ceremony will take place on May 3rd, on the international press freedom's day. The United States' Embassy organized its latest contest of that kind back in 2003. Articles published and to be published between April 2009 and April 2010 will, this time around, be in competition.
