Undertaken in a highly challenging political and cultural environment, Thomson Foundation helped to improve state broadcasting standards in Macedonia
Following independence, the Kosovo War and subsequent ethnic uprising, Thomson Foundation reorganised and reformed the state broadcaster Macedonia Radio and Television (MRTV) with an extensive training and consultancy programme. Designed to achieve fair, balanced and ethical reporting in a new democracy, the work included continuous on-the-job journalism training and a more effective system of editorial control and balanced output.
