TWENTY - five journalists from various Rwandan media houses on Friday completed a five day training workshop on election reporting and good governance, a training that has been designed to improve on how the ongoing Presidential campaigns and elections can be covered.

The forum was facilitated by Willy Mugenzi a lecturer of Mass Communication in the Institute of Journalism at the National University of Rwanda and Mary Raine, a former Editor, Radio News Features, BBC World Service. 

"We are in the days of presidential elections, journalists should give equal voices and visibility to all candidates in order to achieve fairness,” Mugenzi said. He called upon scribes to stick to issues which have significant implications on the Rwandan population.

"Even in the most complex circumstances the media ought to remain independently focused, partisan reporting fuels animosity and violence,” he told reporters.
