Reporting Conflict Objectively

To address the much demanding need of objective reporting of conflict situation, NPI launched field-based reporting program in 2004.

The program continued this year also, sponsoring the field-based reporting by .............. teams of journalists at various conflict-affected areas across the country.

This program encourages journalists to work in a group, which has been helpful in bringing an impacting story with the simultaneous reporting in the different media by various journalists.
