Working Lives Research Institute
The first European workshop of the Media for Diversity and Migrant Integration project (MEDIVA) took place in Florence on 12 and 13 May 2011. Eugenia Markova and Sonia McKay represented the WLRI team at the workshop. The project is focusing on four related themes: media content; media news making and production practices; media recruitment and employment practices; media training practices. The European team draws partners from Italy, Ireland, Poland and the Netherlands as well as the UK. The second day of the two day meeting brought together the research teams with working journalists from Greece, Norway, Germany and Italy. MEDIVA will work closely with journalists and other media workers in the partner countries and will be interviewing journalists and editors in the sector.
