The journalists will attend briefings by senior officials of the United Nations and participate in different meetings with media experts, policy-makers and non-governmental organizations based in New York.  Furthermore, during a week-long visit to Washington D.C., they will meet with media industry leaders, think-tanks, and governmental and non-governmental organizations and agencies.<\/p><\/div>\n

Since then, more than 170 Palestinian journalists have benefitted from this programme.<\/p><\/div>\n
