<p>The trainers from the Center conducted four regional trainings for about 30 journalists from the local media in order to enhance their abilities and capacities for researching and reporting on the work of the local government in light of the increased authorities of the local government, and in its turn the increased role of the local media for reporting on issues of interest of the citizens in the municipalities. The training also resulted in devising a Guide for journalistic reporting for representatives of the local media in Macedonia, published in both Macedonian and Albanian. The project was financially supported by the Program for Local Government of USAID Macedonia.</p>
