Story, Louvier Kindo Tombe<\/span><\/p><\/div>

Delphine was working on a border crisis report between two communities in the West region of Cameroon, when she received an email indicating that her application to attend a training workshop on conflict sensitive reporting has been granted. She saw it as an opportunity to further sharpen her skills in delivering the report. The freelance reporter, 27, was actually blocked on how to tell the story given that she was a native of one of the warring communities. She came to the training expecting to learn how to better address the crisis.<\/p>

\u201cAs journalists, we are shaping conflicts for good or for bad,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>says Eugene Nforngwa, from the Rainforest Center for Policy Research. He was one of the facilitators at the training workshop that held in Yaounde, political capital of Cameroon from November 8-10, 2023.<\/p>

The different journalists and bloggers were told that they can\u2019t properly report a conflict without understanding the conflict, and understanding the conflict is neccesary because stakeholders usually frame it to their favour. framing refers to the idea that actors like strategic communicators, journalists, but also audience members select some aspects of a particular issue and make them salient while other aspects are ignored.<\/p>
