The Danes have organised other workshops in Libya on elections coverage. “It is the third,” said Vinther. “We conducted two in Benghazi during the General National Congress elections on 2012.”

Commenting on benefits gained by Libyan journalists from the course, Nadia Ben Ziad, a Libyan journalist from Febrair newspaper, told the Libya Herald she had gained valuable training on the techniques of elections coverage.

“I have attended several workshops with this institute but this one is more focused on elections coverage, and I will share  the skills and ideas I obtained from it with my colleagues who couldn’t join in,” Manal Bousiri from Libya Al-Akhbaria newspaper said enthusiastically.

CEO of LMI Sufian Khalfaleh, speaking about future events, explained that there would be another workshop next week on the same topic “which will include several Libyan radio stations like Ajwaa, Fezzan and Leptus, in addition to several TV satellite channels such as  Al-Asmaa”. [/restrict]
