Engaging managers and senior editors is a key strategy in Thomson Foundation’s initial programme in Jordan as part of the multi-million euro OPEN Media Hub project to support and train journalists in 17 of the states bordering the European Union.

A media hub is being developed where journalists can share work with each other and channels in the EU.
