The Open Spaces Team is in Choma this week, conducting a 5-day Sustainability Management and Journalism Training for journalists. 📻💼 The focus is on empowering media institutions to become financially sustainable while continuing to produce high-quality journalism.

In an era where independent media faces financial challenges, this training will equip journalists with the skills to not only report on important issues but also to help their organizations develop strategies for long-term financial health. From diversifying revenue streams to building strong community engagement, participants are learning how to create sustainable business models that support the growth and impact of their media outlets.

By blending these financial strategies with journalism excellence, we are ensuring that media institutions can thrive without compromising their editorial independence. These skills are essential for creating resilient media that can continue to serve their communities for years to come. 💪
