I n 2013, some of the key ways MISA built media capacity around this issue and strived to give children a voice in southern African media included the following. Training workshops for journalists MISA trained print and broadcast journalists from both private and State-owned media houses in Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe to increase their knowledge and understanding of child rights and how to report on these issues. 28 Media Monitoring Chapter offices in Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe monitored their countries’ major daily and weekly news publications to study and document how the media in those countries interacts with children’s issues. Editors’ meetings MISA held local and regional meetings of editors to discuss and gain their cooperation on proposed changes to in-house editorial guidelines on reporting on children’s rights and issues. It was the first time editors had come together under the project to network and share their experiences on children’s reporting in their respective countries.
