Mekong Media Fellowship Experiment

The “Mekong Media Fellowship Experiment” (MMFE) project is a cross-cultural research project being conducted by Probe Media Foundation, Inc. to test the feasibility of a developmental video production-training program for Asians that is appropriate for enhancing regional capacity in socially responsible journalism, and promoting collaboration across borders. Ten Mekong nationals and two from the Philippines have been selected for the training to produce in-depth features and video reporting on relevant regional issues related to socio-economic development and good governance. In the training, particular attention is being devoted to investigative and emphatic journalism, communication for social change, and ethical issues related to reporting.
