<p>As part of the project, a total of 68 journalists from 16 local TV stations from all cities in Macedonia were trained. The trainings took place on the very spot in the newsrooms of the local media, as well as on the field during their everyday work. They were directed toward enhancing the skills of the journalists for focusing their stories on the interest of the citizens from the local community and toward improving the informing of the citizens about issues that relate to their everyday life, about which these citizens can only get informed precisely through the local media. The project was financially supported by the Program for Small Grants of the US Embassy in Macedonia.</p>
