Media Training
We believe that the media generally ignores reports about cultural heritage protection for two main reasons:
1) The media has a limited understanding of cultural heritage, therefore, overlooks important cultural artifacts that are fast disappearing.
2) The media’s reports rarely live up to expectations because journalists lack knowledge of the laws regarding cultural heritage protection.

We hope to increase media awareness of cultural heritage protection through Media Training Program.
