The Gambia Press Union (GPU) today, Tuesday 11th November 2025, began a two-day capacity-building training for 40 journalists drawn from online, print, radio, and television on Ethics, Tackling Hate Speech, Information Disorder, Reporting on Disability, and Artificial Intelligence.

This training forms part of activities under a three-month project “Enhancing Media Professionalism and to Promote Peace and Social Cohesion in The Gambia” implemented by the Gambia Press Union and supported UNESCO Dakar under the UN Peacebuilding Fund’s Infrastructure for Peace (I4P).

It is meant to build the capacity of journalists with relevant knowledge and skills to adequately tackle hate speech and information disorder (misinformation, disinformation and malinformation), and as well uphold their ethical obligations in relation to reporting disability and the inclusion of persons with disability as well as observe ethical standards in relation to reporting on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the use of AI.
