Students selected
List released of the 20 young people chosen from among 400 applicants for the 2nd Journalism and Human Rights Course
In total, 436 university students from 19 Brazilian states applied for the 2nd Journalism and Human Rights Course. The candidates represent more than 21 courses from nearly 100 universities across the country. Applications were open throughout the month of September. Last Saturday, October 3, in a meeting held at the São Paulo Union of Journalists, nearly 70 of them took a selection test to compete for one of the 20 places.
Before the test, the students attended a master class with Jessica Carvalho Morris, executive director of Conectas, on the role of journalists today in the coverage of human rights.
“Article 9 of the Code of Ethics for Brazilian journalists states that it is the duty of this profession to defend the principles expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Every reporter, therefore, needs to know what these rights are in order to denounce any violations,” explained Morris during the class.
