Azerbaijani journalists from broadcast and print media, Chief of Press and Information Department of Baku State University Parvana İbrahimova and BSU Journalism Faculty teacher Konul Niftaliyeva were hosted by the Thomson Foundation in London for a five-day visit as part of a business journalism training programme.

Destinations during the visit included the Azerbaijan Embassy, the BBC, the Telegraph and the Financial Times to see how some of the world’s most famous news organisations used digital media.

They also took part in exercises to practise mobile and more advanced multimedia techniques led by Thomson Foundation trainer Dan Mason.

This visit to London builds on two weeks’ training in Baku during which participants were introduced to multimedia tools and were familiarised with business practice and terminology.
