Journalists from developing countries with economies in transition will get an opportunity to learn about the UN's work and to cover the General Assembly for their news outlets.
The programme will let the journalists listen to special briefings, interview senior UN officials, and exchange ideas with colleagues from around the world.
Also, they will get an opportunity to meet with news organizations in New York and have various training sessions with media experts.
This programme will not provide any basic skills training as experienced journalists with two years of experience will be taking part in this programme.
