‘Online journalism’ has become a mantra these days, its necessity made all the more obvious by situations like the COVID-19 pandemic. But the transition to news in digital spaces often takes place at a different pace, approach and context in Southeast Asia, especially in the CLMV countries – Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam.
‘Online Journalism and Storytelling: A Learning and Training Kit’ offers a set of practice-based tools for brushing up on, and for teaching, journalism skills in digital spaces, drawing from perspectives that are grounded in the media realities of developing countries and Southeast Asia’s diverse settings.
Published in August 2020, the book goes through today’s digital culture, changing formats and platforms for news, tips for digital tools for better security and for producing online-friendly products. Indeed, journalistic skills and basic digital skills can no longer be separated from each other.
This kit also revisits what journalism is, since its core remains the same even while technology has changed – and will continue to change.
‘Online Journalism and Storytelling: A Learning and Training Kit’ contains exercises and presentation slides that can be adapted to the needs of journalists, trainers and teachers, news managers and communicators. In keeping with its regional flavour, the book is also available in Khmer, Lao, Burmese and Vietnamese.

This 60-page book invites us to be curious about the words around gender in the media – and offers real-world tips in newspeak, drawing from the context of Southeast Asia.
Myanmar journalists keen on gender as a reporting tool, survey shows
-What most still understand gender to be is just male and female and to promote the participation of women voices in the community through the media platform. Actually, the definition of gender is so much wider than that, says Kyaw Min Swe, Executive Director of Myanmar Journalism Institute and longterm partner of Fojo Media Institute.
Thai audiences seek trusted media, not just the quick one
The multi-skilled, multi-tasking and ever-mindful journalist is in demand in these times of media disruption in Thailand, as well as elsewhere in Southeast Asia. With the digitalisation of our information settings comes the need to update not just how news is reported, but the teaching and training of journalism itself.
In this chat, Jessada and Fojo Media Institute’s consultant Johanna Son discuss the challenges that our changed media settings pose on journalism today, why it is important to develop journalism learning tools that are contextualised in perspective and language.
