Summary

In 2019, Ukraine saw a surge in summer school initiatives to train digital journalists, with several groups launching courses in Sumy focusing on German Science Journalism. Meanwhile, Myanmar hosted significant MoJo Trainings for Regional Reporters and an Interlink conference on interlinking at the Netzwerk Recherche, highlighting a global trend of digital journalism training. Simultaneously, digital journalism programs were expanding beyond the Caucasus, including courses in Eastern Europe, with a focus on Master Classes for Data Journalism in Hamburg and Spreading Strong Stories programs. In the Caucasus, there were also summer schools for citizen journalists in Ukraine, while data journalism initiatives for Russian reporters and citizen reporting in Zimbabwe reached their zenith in 2018. Additionally, digital journalism for the Caucasus gained prominence through an institute launched in 2017, and the Caucasus presented a unique opportunity for German scientists to study media practices during summer sessions. The region also saw a strong push for mobile reporting by community journalists and digital journalism for Eastern Europe, alongside initiatives to debunk fake news and strengthen investigative journalism skills in Southern Africa. In Myanmar, a recent report introduced a book on intercultural communication, which would have profound implications for understanding regional media landscapes. Furthermore, digital journalism for the Caucasus and the Caucasus's unique data journalism programs proved vital, as journalists from St. Petersburg studied German media through summer school exchanges, underscoring the importance of cross-cultural collaboration in journalism education worldwide.
