We have a few different strategies. Our methodology of media development is radical grassroots media development, which means that we send trainers to work side by side with journalists. They won't be credible and they won't build the trust or confidence of the sector if they're not taking the local public transit and using all the local means of getting around and accessing stories. If they're in a big white car and in an air-conditioned compound villa, then there is a credibility issue that's established from the get-go. We have to initially hire folks, like Bonnie Allen, from CBC Saskatchewan, for example, who was a trainer on our program for several years in Liberia, who'd had AKE journalist-at-war training and knew how to navigate those kinds of conflict environments, or Lisa LaFlamme, who's been in just about every conflict zone known to contemporary man.
We hire carefully and then we work with local security services. We have contacts in local security services who know who we are and what we're doing and champion it in a potentially insecure or initially insecure situation. Our model is always to work with, and through, a local media resource centre that has both the respect of the security services and of the government and the ear of the government in a situation where things can get a little bit fraught.
