SECTOR 1

Tertiary training is provided at the training institute of the University of Conakry
and in private universities by teaching staff who are not well qualified themselves.
Civil society is doing a better job at defending the media than media professionals
themselves. Private broadcasters have formed an association (Union des Radios
et Télévisions Libres de Guinée URTELGUI), as have publishers (AGEPI) and
journalists (AJG, OGUIDEM and AGUIPEL). There is no trade union yet in
the private sector. Public sector journalists are grouped in two formations: the
RTG trade union and the trade union of the Ministry of Communication,
which is affiliated to the powerful National Confederation of Guinean Workers
(Confédération Nationale des travailleurs de Guinée, CNTG).
