VOA announces broadcast workshop

WASHINGTON - Beginning January 25 at the Voice of America, eight Ukrainian radio and TV broadcasters are participating in a two-week workshop sponsored by USIA's Bureau of Broadcasting (VOA, Radio and TV Marti, and Worldnet TV).

Coordinated by the Bureau's Office of Affiliate Relations and International Media Training Center, the workshop will emphasize the development of production skills through hands-on experience, professional organization, and First Amendment principles.

The four participants from radio will work with VOA's Ukrainian Service, while the four television broadcasters will work with Worldnet personnel and the staff of the Bureau's new Ukrainian TV project.

Michael Fairhurst, executive producer for the Trenton, N.J., public television station WNJT-TV, will lead classroom sessions and counsel participants in the development of their own productions during the second week.

The Voice of America is the international radio broadcasting service of the United States Information Agency, broadcasting more than 1,000 hours of programming weekly in 49 languages.
