The SNP is a small union-- with only 110 regular members-- but its articles and constitution clearly reflect both a professional and trade union character which would make it eligible for membership.

National Union of Journalists- Malaysia d As a result of contact established through the IFJ's training project in the country an application was received from the NUJ in Malaysia in January 1988. The NUJ has some 1,200 members and its constitution and objects clearly stated the organisation's commitments to principles of press freedom and trade union independence for journalists.

General Secretary: Hans Larsen informed the Bureau at its in meeting in Brussels in September 1986 of his intention to give notice from M January 1 1987. The Bureau circulated a letter of all member unions on January 30 1987 seeking candidates for the position. Following a short- listing and interview process the Bureau, meeting in Berlin in May 1987, appointed Aidan White, former national officer of the NUJ of Great Britain and Ireland. This appointment was reported to the Executive Committee meeting in Berlin at the same time. 00:03 M Aidan White started work with the Federation on September 1 1987 and assumed the position of General Secretary on October 1st 1987. 93? beyomas ed noin add design00 03 abnommen sd7 4.2.

The Federation's monthly newsletter" Direct Line" is now distributed to 3,150 in 108 countries, and in four languages: English, French, Spanish and German. 8801 The masthead and titlepiece of the newsletter has been given a more modern image and the Federation has adopted a new logo. It is our intention to adopt similar new styles for all IFJ publications. 5.2. The Bureau published in 1987 the report of the fact- finding mission of the President and the General Secretary( Hans Larsen) to Ireland under the title" CENSORING THE TROUBLES- An Irish solution to an Irish problem? 5.3. IFJ Information is being revamped in style and will be relaunched in 1988 with the results of the enquiry into freelance working conditions. Sout ontinue 5.4. The Secretariat is conscious that more time, effort and resources need to be applied to IFJ publications. They should appear in a professional style which satisfies high standards of journalism. In order for this to be achieved there needs to be a fresh look at the priority we give to improving the IFJ's image both within the Federation's membership and in the world at large. 6.

The IFJ Secretariat maintains regular contact with most members unions. However, it must be said that with a few unions there is precious little dialogue. This is a pity for it means that these unions get less out of their IFJ membership. It cannot be stressed too much that providing the IFJ with information on activities as well as requesting information and assistance is an essential part of the process in building international solidarity. TA Lear 8.2. In this section routine contacts between unions and the I Secretariat on a day- to- day basis are not recorded. Mentioned below are a few specific matters which have been the subject of discussion at Bureau meetings. Contacts with member unions concerning interventions or assistance on press freedom matters and on education questions are dealt with in Sections 13 and 21 of this report. .../... -8- J 8.3. Deutsche Journalisten- Union, Rundfunk- Fernseh- Film- Union, Deutscher Journalisten verband, Federal Republic of Germany The Hong Kong Bureau meeting in February 1987, the Executive Committee meeting in Berlin in May 1987 and the Brussels Bureau meeting in February 1988 all discussed the process of transition towards the creation of an industrial union- IG Medien- involving the DJU, the RFFU and a breakaway regional section of the DJV, the Sudwestdeutscher Journalistenverband. The Bureau was concerned that during this period there should be the maximum co- operation between the unions. As a result, meetings took place between all concerned and, with the full consent of the DJV, which remains independent of the process, the new union will come into being early next year. de The IFJ constitution requires that the SWDJV should become identifiably separate members of the IFJ until that process is completed and as a result an application on their behalf for full membership is dealt with in Section 8 of the Congress agenda. gated ei 8.4. Sindicato dos Jornalistas Portugal During the period of this report there have been two initiatives taken by the Sindicato dos Jornalistas in Portugal which have received IFJ support. The first, a conference on professional ethics which was held in Lisbon and reported to the February meeting of the Bureau in Hong Kong in 1987 was attended by journalists from Portugal and from throughout the Portuguese- speaking world. The IFJ was represented by Bureau member Raimundo Garcia. The second initiative was the holding of an international conference on new technology in Lisbon in February 1988 which was attended by the General Secretary. Both these events indicate an increasingly active role by the union on issues of wide- ranging concern. 28018.5. National Union of Journalists 00% Great Britain and Ireland OMARTS In Great Britain a growing mood of disquiet among journalists has grown over the past two years following a number of events which indicate a worrying tendency towards government interference in the media. In particular, the IFJ has, at the request of the NUJ, made protests over the challenge to the independence of the BBC implicit in government attacks on the" bias" of its reports; over the suppression of programmes dealing with the extent of government secrecy; over the press freedom implications in Government attempts to gag newspapers from publishing reports on the Peter Wright" Spycatcher" affair; over the fine of 20,000 pounds on reporter Jeremy Warner for refusing to disclose a source of information; and over attempts to force photographers and broadcasters to hand over unpublished materials to the authorities. In this deteriorating situation the NUJ has requested the IFJ to assist in providing protection to individual members and we have made a positive response. 18 dua tro ith modern and safer desks .../... -901 sibar-- adelantot to ou do 8.6.

He met with the Board of the SASJ in Johannesburg and met with the leadership of MWASA following their successful Congress. 9.5 Bolt In his report to the Bureau the General Secretary said that he had urged the SASJ and MWASA to work closely together in representing the interests of South Africa's journalists both inside and outside the country. 8.8. Australian Journalists Association( AJA)- Australia The AJA as a new affiliate has established regular and fruitful contact with the IFJ.

IFJ Support during industrial disputes One of the important aspects of the IFJ's work should be to provide support for industrial action involving affiliates whenever it is requested.

Member unions are again requested to inform the Brussels office of the nature, duration and extent of any dispute so that telegrammes and letters of support can be sent off at the psychologically best time. During the WM period covered by this report there have been a number of requests for help and we have responded with moral support. 9. CONTACTS WITH OTHER NATIONAL JOURNALISTS UNIONS asing s besuter need bed asazal 9.1. The IFJ and its member unions are in regular contact with many journalists unions and journalists' organisations that are not affiliated to the Federation.

This aimed to institutionalise the form of co- operation between the journalists' organisations. go b aqqs as sans The IFJ questioned the wisdom of setting up another international body preferring the informality of the existing arrangements and, instead, submitted a paper outlining a simple procedure for improving the preparatory work of the Consultative Meetings. This matter is still under discussion. 30 At the Cairo meeting there had been discussion on the setting up of a World Forum of Journalists. The IFJ opposed this suggestion believing it could be more destructive than constructive by generating disputes on matters of principle and basic concepts of press freedom rather than strengthening co- operation among journalsits from different cultural backgrounds. The Bureau meeting in Berlin endorsed this position. ( AI) On a more practical level the Consultative Meetings undertook the work of publishing the IFJ report prepared by John Lawrence looking at the S effects of new technology on the work of journalists. The IFJ continues to believe that the most positive approach to improving solidarity among ng journalists organisations is through more practical work on the problems affecting working journalists. 10.2. International Organisation of Journalists Veb saed yd The IFJ continues to have contacts with the IOJ mainly through the consultative meetings and at Unesco conferences. Relations, which were strained in the two years prior to the Elsinore Congress, have improved and this progress was reflected in the agreement reached between the two organisations and the Austrian Union of Journalists in Vienna at the conference on the Helsinki Final Act( see Section 13).w 02 to A further indication of warmer association was the invitation to the General Secretary and the President to visit Prague in April 1988.

Confederation of ASEAN Journalists As expected the admission of the Australian Journalists' Association or and the formal admission of the New Zealand Journalists Union had assisted the development of the IFJ's relations with the Confederation.

Felap and Felatrap Apart from contacts established through the visit to Central America and Latin America by the IFJ education mission in 1987 the IFJ's relations with the two federations have been usefully maintained through Consultative Meetings. 11. RELATIONS WITH INTERNATIONAL TRADE UNION ORGANISATIONS Dau 11.1. International Confederation of Free Trade Unions DM The IFJ continues to work closely with the ICFTU in its role as an International Trade Secretariat. The General Secretary has attended meetings of the ITSs organised by the ICFTU in 1986 and 1987. These meetings have helped to improve the level of co- operation between the Federation and other Trade Secretariats and have provided the base for much more active participation by the IFJ in the affairs of the world trade union movement. In November 1986, the General Secretary attended an ICFTU seminar organised in Brussels at the suggestion of the IFJ. He presented a paper on " ICFTU- ITS Co- operation on International Communication". This has been circulated to member unions. The IFJ was involved in the setting up of a meeting on antitrade union practices which was held with ICFTU support in Geneva in March 1987. The NUJ ( Great Britain and Ireland) represented the IFJ at this seminar. 50 .../... EI- 14- EI There has also been co- operation in the area of trade union education.

LII S 60. The IFJ has attended meetings of the ICFTU Co- ordinating Committee on Southern Africa and has, successfully, sought support from the ICFTU for trade union development projects in South Africa and the Pacific area( see Education section 21). The Southern Africa project( see section 20) is for a conference of sdab journalists union representatives from the Southern Africa region in order to promote co- operation in the region. This conference is likely to take place in September 1988. The major event of the past two years in the ICFTU calendar was the holding of the World Congress in Melbourne, Australia, from March 14-18 1988. The main theme of the Congress- the Challenge of Change- provided an opportunity for the IFJ to raise some critical issues affecting journalists. The IFJ was represented at the Congress by the General Secretary and Barry Porter, the Bureau member for the region and President of the Australian Journalists' Association. In his intervention the General Secretary drew particular attention to the attacks on freedom of the press and on individual journalists throughout the world. As symbolic examples he referred to the cases of the journalists held hostage in the Lebanon. A second major threat to freedom of the press, he said, was the increasing concentration of media ownership around the world into the hands of entrepreneurs whose only concerns were market share and profit. Particular concern was expressed regarding the activities of Mr. Rupert Murdoch, whose style casts a shadow over four continents, and particularly in Australia. dba This process posed a challenge to democracy around the world, he said, and the IFJ would place a high priority on examining the problem and formulating a practical trade union response.

The proposal to hold this symposium was a feature of the UNESCO Programme of Activities. The General Secretary reported to the Bureau meeting in Hong Kong in February 1987 that the IFJ had been invited by UNESCO to assist in the organisation of the symposium in order that it should have a broad base. It had originally been a proposal of the IOJ alone. SI ids to The Symposium was due to be held in Tampere, Finland in June 1987. In an attempt to broaden the extent of participation it was agreed to invite aq more Western- oriented groups and publishers. However, a considerable amount of controversy emerged around the symposium and when several Western dan organisations( FIEJ, WPFC and IPI) reversed their positions and refused to take part, it was decided to postpone it to later in the year. Murdo During the UNESCO General Conference in Paris in October 1987, a voz Statement of Intent and a fresh circular letter outlining a broader approach to the organisation of the symposium was prepared by the General Secretary on behalf of the organisers. A new date for the symposium was tentatively suggested for March 1988 in Helsinki. This initiative received widespread support and only one organisation- FIEJ( Fédération internationale des éditeurs de journaux)- refused to participate. At the Consultative Meeting in Tampere, Finland, in December 1987, it was agreed to seek further assistance in the preparation of an agenda which allowed for an open and wide- ranging discussion on the problems of professional journalism. Initial discussions between the IPI and the IFJ produced agreement on an agenda. However, IPI expressed concern that perhaps UNESCO were not fully supporting the symposium even under the new approach. This was not the case, but in the event the IPI decided not to participate. The WPFC( World Press Freedom Committee) and FIPP( International Federation of the Periodical Press) also decided not to take part. 03 I .../... - 17- 81 In these circumstances the IFJ, on behalf of the organisers, wrote to UNESCO proposing that the March meeting should be cancelled and that the work of the symposium should be carried out through a" correspondence" evaluation of the impact of the declaration. ib adi lo siga al The General Secretary, in his meeting with the Director General of Unesco, said that he hoped UNESCO would soon provide other opportunities for a much- needed review of mass media policies. 12.3.

It will probably now take place in the context of the o programme of work for 1990. hund One meeting that did take place was the ILO Tripartite Meeting on Salaried Authors and Inventors. A full report of this meeting is given in the report of the Copyright Working Party. Arising from the difficulties in obtaining direct representation on the workers' side in this meeting, the IFJ has taken up again with the ICFTU the need for the IFJ's expertise in the copyright area to be formally recognised at such meetings in future. the 12.4.

It may be necessary to introduce a more structured approach to the collection of information. This could be done by either reducing the number of enquiries or by assembling them into one comprehensive form of survey which could be distributed at a specified time each year. This would allow member unions to plan their contribution to IFJ Austre activity in a more systematic manner. Austria Belgiu 20.

I 03 sqod LXI da bas 01 9d38383009 1980Is doum gnidalidasas dauordT THA Concentration in the European press has increased overall, although in several European countries its domestic structure has been retained so far. But even there, international capital is beginning to influence and change national structures through the introduction of new information and communications technology. of Capital from other sectors( e.g. banks and even the armaments industry) is beginning to show considerable interest in the new media markets. In this connection, the influence of the electronics industry, computer companies, and the software industry is also all too obvious. The public right to information is increasingly being controlled by private sector interests. Furthermore, such efforts are being given every support by politicians, particularly in the EC, as demonstrated in the EG Green Book " Television without Frontiers", for example, and strengthened through EC legislation initiatives. be deal Since the recommendations made at the Ist European Conference on work with THAT new technology, it is gratifying to note that in many countries the links between print unions and the journalists' associations have become closer, thus creating a forum to eliminate, lessen, or regulate the dangers of de- skilling or loss of jobs facing all those employed in that sector.

Every effort must be made in as many countries as possible to ensure that before starting negotiations with the employers, the graphical and journalists' unions meet to consider and discuss how the jobs and skills of all those employed can be protected and secured, so that loss of jobs as well as loss of job quality can be prevented; and how to obstruct all attempts made to play the employed and their unions off against each other. sanoinu abs ad goods sibem sd1 to 201098 Ila Through establishing much closer contacts, the IGF and the IFJ hope to support these objectives, particularly within the joint working group. o a os bodas nood aad u oljesmob ei e 30796 rove Ju8 bús poisoni wan lo nolsouborsa sa dodge Lantian ⚫ysolocnej enoidsɔinuo شمل. si( ydaubai aids of de asiangas im dasve bas exned.8.9) szoba radio mori Isige saibam von ad ni jasni sidaasbianos voninaised aubal bio130sis ads to ado .anoi vdo 001 Iis oals ai xeobni sxswatoa edi bos sieving vd belformos gated Ignisseront ai noidamolni of 3dgi silduq s yd Jroqque vs novig anked sxs aizollo dogs Tom.83993 101598 Odgozda benedignexe bas sigmsxs rol." asino Juodsiw noisiveisT" 89vitatii noijalaig dji drow no seqoxu adni ed es3000 yaam ni dad 198019 amoed svad anoisia to gab sdt sdslugs 20 xes jadi ni boyoigms daods Iis gaisal adol to asol so grillide- sb 1987.281 08 Isisxaq noad vino sad zevedo jal s s 9bam anoijabnemmo od oni son 03 gailisang ai ai valomos sallamanot odd bus anoinu jaki wied 098891.93snimiis o murol nije Vienne, Jinq edi : gaival fol ads ons aas najsoqol ynam gnoms C 88/ 6.4.

This development endangers the impartiality of professional journalism which can only exist independent of political and commercial pressures. " In its initial examination of the amendments to the Directive made by the Parliament, the IFJ notes that a number of positive suggestions have been made. " However, the IFJ remains concerned that the Directive limits the rights of journalists organisations to participate in free collective bargaining on matters of authors copyright. " The IFJ will prepare a detailed analysis of the Parliament's amendments for consideration by journalists' organisations throughout Europe.

That the Group would maintain a light and practical structure and would work on an ad hoc basis on European questions. Where there was a working party on a specific subject, the European Group of the IFJ could deal with the problem under a European angle. 5. To convene the Group when specific European problems required an IFJ response and not to have" general assemblies". The meeting in Catania is the second meeting of the Group and has been called by the IFJ Bureau meeting in Rome, September 29- October 1 1987, following an invitation from the FNSI to host the meeting. The Bureau heard that the specific questions being raised were: .anoinu nos qoxu svied S 13 90-00 1933ed a) European mulit- media developments and concentration of ownership in the edT the national press and broadcasting with regard to the invasion of foreign media business-- in particular Rizzoli, Hachette, Bertelsmann, Berlusconi, esibod sssqox 30 sequ etc. 89109 ( s b) the contents of the" Television Without Frontiers" Directive of the EEC ( see IFJ policy-- Working Document No 3- and also European Parliament report of January 20th 1988-- Working Document No 4). ga Mi asb bluode 81399m 38dy( o c) the establishment of relations between the European Community and the IFJ and IFJ relations with other European trade union organisations. 02 90010 up 1001( b As a result the President and General Secretary convened the meeting in Sicily by the letter of November 27 1987. qoqq gibbs I That letter contained a suggested agenda which has been expanded and which is enclosed quorgs gaimoni * OBJECTIVES OF THE MEETING sqosu ni moljasup sibem ad ni blod saw aw L1 903 lo quos assqoxu ads to gniom Jaxil d.lues a 81 ms 2 no aleaaud The IFJ has agreed that activity of its European Group shall be to facilitate co- operation and activity among member unions in the European region, but it shall not involve itself with matters which are part of the general activities of the IFJ. 20 ith matte 903 699 918915.

As far as exchanging views and information is concerned the work of the IFJ Secretariat would be greatly assisted if member unions could be reminded to send material of interest to others to the office in Brussels. asbiA As has been said before, there is a great need for more information: ene developments in different countries should be monitored, material should be collected, analysed and reports should be produced which could be translated and distributed. 000000 The European Group of the IFJ could become an important resource for the IFJ if members could take practical steps to assist in the processing of this information. Congress As far as contacts with the EC and other European bodies are concerned we have to face the fact that there are serious practical difficulties. The EC will not recognise the IFJ for consultation purposes because it does not have a specific European character. The Congress has made it clear that the establishment of the European Group should look at this problem, but that there is no question of the European group taking on national" independent" status in order to facilitate easier access to the European Community. BRA One answer, of course, is to improve our relationship with the European Trade Union movement which is recognised by the EC and which we could use for official contact with the Community. To a certain extent this has already been done. Participants will note that the IFJ has already played a role in the ETUC and the development of its mass media policy( see working document No 1). In particular we took part in an ETUC delegation which met with the Television Task Force and members of the European Parliament on November 12 1987( see working document No 2). However, formal recognition with the ETUC requires the setting up of an independent industry committee which would not be acceptable for reasons already discussed by Congress. I am informed that the ETUC is about to carry out a review of its structure and it may be that a form of official contact can be established which would meet the needs of our European member unions without enhancing the status of the European group beyond that agreed by the Congress. Certainly the IFJ has already established its European identity both within the Community and the ETUC largely thanks to the efforts of our Copyright Working Party which has provided responses on Green and White papers, and with some success. WHIT This process of de facto recognition should be continued but perhaps should be further examined in detail by a small working party set up by the European group of the IFJ. .../... - 4- The Catania meeting might also consider that the best way to enhance co- operation and exchange of information among European members is by setting up a small working party to carry out the practical work. 30 03 das1530 dow 1st ed 922018 Aidan White, edeA General Secretary. ed blood January 28th 1988 1 கள 103inom inom ad bluoda ainuo seib bas one 000000000 Jo.

Introduction beliem ads 943 10 At the 18th World Congress, held in Elsinore in June, 1986, the IFJ determined to appoint an Education Officer to launch and coordinate a programme of IFJ trade union training activities, with special emphasis on developing countries. This appointment was made possible by financial assistance from LO/ TCO Bistandsnamnden, the umbrella organisation bringing together the two national trade union centres in Sweden. At its meeting in Brussels in October, 1986 the Bureau appointed Neal Swancott, then Federal Secretary of the Australian Journalists Association and a member of the Bureau, to the position. He started work in the IFJ Secretariat on February 1, 1987. Subsequently, and under the terms of the financial assistance granted by LO/ TCO, the IFJ appointed Elizabeth Arany as part- time secretary to the Education Officer. The IFJ extended its office space and its word- processing facilities. The IFJ Bureau meeting held in Hong Kong in February, 1987 agreed that the Education Officer should work through the Third World Commission. At the Rome Bureau meeting, Neal Swancott told the Bureau that he was not able to extend his contract beyond June 30, 1988. The Bureau appointed a panel to consider applicants for the position, and subsequently endorsed the appointment of Stein- Ove Grønsund, of the Norwegian Journalists Union, as his successor. He will take up the position formally on June 1, 1988. these en diff .../... - 2- 2. Activities in 1987-88 a) South- East Asia The 18th World Congress also decided on the initiative of its affiliates in Hong Kong, Australia and South Korea, to organise in Hong Kong an Asia/ Pacific regional conference of journalists unions. This conference was to be held in December, 1986 but was rescheduled to February, 1987 for practical, organisational reasons. This conference( see General Secretary's report) brought together affiliates from Australia, Hong Kong, South Korea, and the Hawaiian Islands, and non- affiliates journalists' organisations from Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, The Philippines, and Fiji. Observers attended from Japan, Macau and Taiwan, and from the Confederation of ASEAN Journalists. As a result of the contacts made at this conference, the Education officer visited Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines in June, 1987. Arising out of his discussions in these countries, agreement was reached on the holding in Malaysia( in November, 1987 and March, 1988) of a two- part trade union training workshop, to bring together national and branch leaders of the National Union of Journalists, Malaysia and the Singapore National Union of Journalists. Agreement was reached in Manila that the Education Officer would provide assistance to the National Press Club of the Philippines in its plans to convert the NPC into a trade union of newspaper journalists. The first of the two training workshops, held in Malacca, West Malaysia, spanned five days and dealt in detail with new technology, collectivze bargaining techniques, and copyright bargaining. A detailed report of the proceedings was prepared by participants and this has been distributed throughout the two unions as part of the follow- up activity. The second course, held in March, 1988 continued these themes, using the services of the secretary general of IFFRO as a tutor on copyright issues. The reports of the workshops are held in the IFJ Secretariat and are available for affiliates on request. b) Kenya The Education Officer visited Kenya in May, 1987 for discussions with the Kenya Union of Journalists on the planning of a three- stage trade union training seminar. The first of these courses was held in September, 1987 and dealt in detail with union organisation strategies, union financing options, new technology, and wages and working conditions. The second course was held in April, 1988 and dealt extensively with the questions of technology and copyright bargaining. The third course was scheduled for May, 1988. In each case, detailed reports of proceedings were prepared by participants. These are available at the IFJ Secretariat for affiliates on request. .../... - 3- c) South Africa adaj 68 mt qu 9a edi to no geoxe sd W In August, 1987 the IFJ arranged a seminar over eight days in Harare, bZimbabwe, involving 10 members of MWASA, three members of the Zimbabwe Graphical Union, and occasional visitors frol the Zimbabwe Union of Journalists. The course programme included workplace organisation, negotiating techniques, preparation of agreements, union structures, roles of workplace officers, new technology, press freedom, the history of MWASA, the media crisis in South Africa, conflict in management/ worker relations, the media in Zimbabwe, news sources, maintaining contacts, how to conduct union meetings, and the meaning of the new world information order. A full report of proceedings was kept by participants and is available at the IFJ Secretariat for affiliates on request. d) Latin America 10 as bigu 8000 Bn The Education Office, together with IFJ Bureau member, Raimundo Garcia Paz, ei undertook an extensive visit to Central and South America in August, 1987, visiting Guatemala, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile and Peru. The main purposes of the trip was to make contact with journalists aviso organisations; to follow up the 1985 IFJ mission to Latin America; and to identify trade union training projects for inclusion in the IFJ's education programme. While in Peru, the two IFJ representatives conducted workshops on new technology and copyright, and gave a public lecture, at the request of the IFJ affiliate, the National Association of Journalists of Peru. Jub U ninis noin sbs13 Laoise to 190 The report of the mission was considered at the IFJ Bureau meeting in Rome in September- October, 1987 and has been published as part of the minutes of the Rome Bureau meeting. As a consequence, trade union training projects have been designed for Venezuela and Peru, and a conference similar to the Hong Kong conference is being considered for San Jose, Costa Rica( see below). av no 3. Basic Policy and Direction 110 20171506 009 ad blow 130 To date the IFJ education programme has been modest in its ambitions, emreflecting a desire to do well in what is achievable and to learn from experience. We have concentrated on providing basic trade union education courses covering a number of organisational and industrial questions set by the journalsts' organisations themselves. Our aim at this stage has been to make a concrete evaluation of training needs. As these become clear we can develop the training programme in a more systematic way. Because of this strategy we have, initially, worked on an annual timescale for projects. In the future we envisage more long- term projects tailored to specific industrial and trade union development targets. . The courses have had built into them a final" assessment" session in which participants are encouraged to give their opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of the subject matter, the course organisation, the venue, the value of the tutors, etc. The tutors have also been asked to give a critical analysis of their experiences. This practice has proved important for re- assessing and re- designing subsequent courses. . To date, the courses have concentrated on countries with established journalists organisations which have a trade union character, although these unions are at different stages of development and have achieved different levels of bargaining rights. .../... -4- E Activities in 1957-83 . With the exception of the seminar run in South Africa, the courses have also concentrated on developing countries where the journalists' union is not affiliated to the IFJ. There is, however, no policy which restricts the education programme to non- affiliated journalist organisations in the Third World. . The programme has been designed to meet needs identified by the toden participating organisations in the selected countries. The countries have been selected having regard to the nature of the participating organisation; the nature of the proposed subject matter; and the ability of the IFJ to integrate the project into its education programme. Similar criteria apply to the selection of tutors. Nevertheless, a clear preference is given to projects which have as their aim the strengthening of an emerging trade union, and which have as their subject matter trade union development issues consistent with the activities of IFJ affiliates. ( b laysiy and the Philippi Arising out . The initial 18 months of the programme have concentrated on nationally and regionally elected officers of the participating organisations. The emphasis has been on providing training to help these unionists advance the ieiv objectives of their own unions. The aim has been to assist in the bsm development of a" cadre" group to act, in due course, as trainers conegro themselves. The IFJ programme has not yet been able to reach into the nobl rank- and- file levels of the participating unions. This is an important q distinction, as many International Trade Secretariats do not involve their education officers directly in face- to- face teaching. Rather, the Education Officer oversees the formation of national trade union training courses run directly by the participating unions for cadres and rank- and- file members. In such programmes, the ITS provides the finance and gives advice, but does not directly conduct the courses. Rather, they promote local study circles and the production of local study materials. hot banglesbinesdssvad che 9589809 This method of operation is likely to be the long- term objective of the IFJ education programme. The Education Officer post would be seen as one of international co- ordination, rather than direct participation. The Education Officer would be responsible for selecting the country in which the activity is to take place; liaising with the participating union; overseeing bo finances; collating evaluation reports; and preparing the overall programmme and funding submissions. This will probably have to be the position if the programme develops in scope and intensity, and as the stock of resources persons at the national level increases. But in the short term, the direct participation of the Education Officer is likely to be maintained. B 9b co. It is important to note that in each case, the training project that has been devised has been based on a" field trip" and prior research. This has ensured that the participating union has been fully involved in identifying the needs and determining the content of the proposed course. As the IFJ programme develops, the participating unions will also be expected to take greater responsibility for budget policy and implementation. Bm 359 du 59 due 9d1 to 89289msey Our initial experience has revealed a tension between the trade unions training needs of journalists in developing countries and their professional training needs. Normally vocational training is not part of the course content, but in some circumstances it is unavoidable. In South Africa, for instance, where black journalists suffer from educational discrimination, it is clear that they benefit from an element of vocational training. This is also the case for Chinese journalists taking part in courses in Malaysia. agisd 30 alevel ne Sadgit .../... 4. Projects Proposed for 1988-89 a) Third World Conference - 5- Dial( 71 As part of the preparation of the education programme for 1988-89 and beyond, the IFJ Bureau agreed to arrange a two- day conference of Third World representatives- mainly IFJ affiliates, but also non- affiliates which have participated in the education programme to date. This conference was timed to immediately precede the 19th World Congress. The aims of the conference were: To provide a forum for journalists unions in developing countries to identify their trade union training needs, to enable the IFJ to properly consider its priorities for its education programme, and to prepare a long- term trade union training and development plan; 20 01 To enable journalist unions in developing countries which have been involved with the IFJ in trade union training projects to discuss their experience and to assist journalist unions in other developing countries to identify their priorities and needs; LHI AT To ensure that the IFJ education programme is directed at the needs of developing countries and is tailored to their requirements; . To identify training projects to be included in the IFJ 1988-90 Working Programme; hi bied 160 To introduce non- affiliated journalists in developing countries to the experiences of affiliated unions in developing countries; and thus to encourage affiliation to the IFJ. d308( 11) Funding for this conferences has been provided from a range of sources, through the active work of a number of affiliates( see General Secretary's report).( The results of the conference will be considered by a Congress Commission and then by Congress in plenary session). asd epstong 89 be 2AWM BAWM- 893 b) Specific Projects i) Introduction an going bad bas( No. 20 yd LHI add damniogge 36 flame mi ass bateloaf 2A Financial assistance from LO/ TCO takes two forms: an overall grant to enable the employment of an Education Officer, and special allocations of funds for specific projects. Within the overall grant is provision for the Education Officer to travel to maintain an over- view of IFJ activities, to prepare project applications and to investigate training needs. The budget also covers secretarial assistance and communications costs, and the preparation and publication of study materials. The budget for 1988-89 provides funding for the IFJ to maintain its 1987-88 initiatives in Latin America, Africa and South East Asia, and to commences initiatives in the Pacific area. The special projects for which LO/ TCO funding has been sought for 1988-89 cover Venezuela, Peru, and South Africa. Not all of the funds are sought from LO/ TCO. For 1988-89, two submissions have been made to the ICFTU for inclusions in its general trade union training programme. These relate to the Pacific, and to the proposed regional conference of journalists unions in Harare( see below). .../... - 7- The The third part of the programme in South Africa is for the IFJ to sponsor in Harare, Zimbabwe, a conference of its South African affiliates and journalists organisations in the SADCC countries in Southern Africa. aim of the seminar will be to allow affiliates to compare their conditions of work, and the bargaining processes and labour laws in the respective countries, and to provide the opportunity to establish areas where future cooperation might be developed. ( Separate from the education programme, the IFJ has also sought from LO/ TCO special funds for humanitarian assistance to South African journalists facing censure, unemployment or detention by the South African authorities for their trade union or professional activity). iv) The Pacific The IFJ has designed and submitted to the ICFTU an ambitious project to train over an eight week period up to eight journalists from the Pacific area. The project arises out of the participation of the IFJ in a conference held in Port Moresby( capital of Papua- New Guinea) in September, 1987 arranged by the ICFTU and its Asia Pacific Regional Organisation. The project proposes to combine trade union organisational subjects with professional and technical subjects, and will be conducted in conjunction with the IFJ's two major affiliates in the Pacific- the Australian Journalists Association and the New Zealand Journalists Union. The IFJ Secretariat believes that this project will need to be thoroughly researched and prepared before it is launched, and provision has been made in the general Education Officer budget for a detailed study of journalist trade union problems in the Pacific before the training project is launched.

Regional Conferences thegefur frow nciple to 69 Conic to Sa During the mission, the idea emerged for conferences to be held in Central and South America similar to that which was organised in Hong Kong in February, 1987 for the Asia/ Pacific region. The opportunity to hold such a conference in Central America was presented during the mission's visit to Costa Rica- both with the stated intention of the Costa Rican union to seek affiliation; and during the interview with the Costa Rican Minister for Culture. The Minister offered to sponsor a seminar in San Jose dealing with pluralism in the media and the role of journalists in the peace process in Central America. The mission members favour cooperation with the Minister in this concept. Their recommendation is that a proposal should be put to the Minister- through the Costa Rican union that he arrange in San Jose a conference on the topics that he has nominated, but that he extend sponsored participation to journalist leaders from other Central American countries nominated by the Union. The IFJ should then organise in conjunction with the Costa Rican Union a separate three- day regional conference to take place immediately after the seminar. This should deal with trade union issues- structured generally around the Hong Kong model and should involve the same trade union participants. - new copyr The mission members believe that a separate regional conference should be organised for South America. They consider that Santiago, Chile is the most suitable place to hold such a conference, as it would allow the IFJ and participants to focus on press freedom and trade union rights issues as Chile proceeds towards its 1988-89 election and possible transition to democracy. This proposal, of course, raises for discussion some matters of principle. First, the mission members believe that the maximum benefit from the conference will come from the ability of Bureau members to attend as observers, as they attended the Hong Kong conference. The IFJ policy has been that Bureau meetings should be held in countries where affiliates issue invitations for Bureau meetings to be held. The IFJ does not have an affiliate in Chile, thus it is outside current policy to contemplate a Bureau meeting to be held in Santiago.

This is, of course, subject to our Chilean colleagues confirming that are willing and able to cooperate in the organising of such a project. If this is not the case, the mission members believe the regional conference should then take place in Lima immediately after a Bureau meeting. The mission members believe that all trade unions of journalists in Latin American countries where unions exist should be invited to the regional conference, along with the College of Journalists of Chile. Where both colleges and unions exist, the mission's view is that only unions should be invited. As with Hong Kong, it is recommended that invited unions be entitled to nominate the size and composition of delegations. The mission also recommends that the themes for the regional conference be drawn from the proposals contained in the letter from Senor Carazo, and that the final proposals for the conference be discussed with Senor Carazo and the Chilean College before Latin American unions are approached to take part. 2. Specific National Proposals a) Venezuela 19dmem noise od moitibbs al The union has advised of the new copyright law to be introduced in Venezuela. The IFJ mission proposed that the union forward a copy of the draft legislation to the IFJ secretariat, and that the IFJ would then arrange for it to be studied by Stein- Ove Grønsund and the Copyright Working Party and made subject to critical analysis. The IFJ mission also suggested to the union that it consider a format for a seminar on copyright and journalist union responses to copyright law and forward the proposal to the IFJ, for consideration of IFJ involvement in such a seminar. The mission members recommend that these proposals be endorsed and that the General Secretary confirm the offer in writing. The Venezuelan union is also planning a seminar on technology, to which it will invite employers to speak on intentions and the central government to speak on policy. The IFJ mission said it was certain the IFJ would be prepared to provide an expert speaker for the conference. The mission members recommend that this proposal be endorsed, and that the General Secretary advise the union accordingly. b) Paraguay To noinigo sd ni bludw toqifatre basdn gdj to IIiw jailszuoj naivus doidu no ono i susei adT.30amsvloval doua .splodo sviting a sam od bes .../... - 30- c) Argentina garbiod The written report lists the areas of information on which the Paraguayan union seeks assistance, and also points to the difficulties in getting information into Asuncion.

The mission members recommend that these two proposals be adopted and that the General Secretary write to the Colegio accordingly. alneogor In addition, the mission members recommend to the Bureau: 101 CHI 03 £ lousons( s i) that the Bureau adopt the draft resolution on Chile prepared for the Bureau meeting, thus launching an internationalnu sift campaign in support of Chilean colleagues; and oT sleuseneV ii) that the Bureau consider at its February, 1988 meeting and recommendation from the mission members that the IFJ idgingo ST secretariat seek sponsorship from an affiliate for the aim LEI President and Vice President of the Colegio to be invited to attend the Maastricht Congress, to address Congress on press freedom issues in Chile as part of the international support campaign. e) Peru Iw ni The mission members have difficulty in recmmending to the Bureau that it adopt the specific recommendations of the Peruvian affiliate contained in the written report. This is because the mission members do not see a role for the IFJ in the internal democratic decisionmaking process of the Peruvian association, and that is what is being proposed. Involvement of the IFJ in economic terms in sponsoring seminars in support of this objective, or in financing the travel of union leaders promoting this objective would, in the opinion of the mission members, set a precedent for IFJ interference in the internal affairs of an affiliate, even though the leadership of the affiliate seeks such involvement. The issue is one on which Peruvian journalists will need to make a positive choice. .../... - 31- However, the IFJ's education project is designed to find ways to assist the formation and the strengthening of trade unions of journalists in developing countries. The Peruvian association is seeking a method of strengthening its position as a trade union, because it believes its present structure does not give it sufficient industrial strength. The Peruvian association is also an affiliate, which gives it a further claim to assistance within the terms of the education project. The mission members therefore see scope for the IFJ Bureau to agree to assist Peru by providing the comparative materials sought by the Peruvian Association, and by offering the Association an expert tutor to take part in a workshop or workshops on the various union models used by affiliates. This workshop should be offered to the Peruvian association within the next six months- that is, before the association commits itself to any particular organisational form. The object would not be to give endorsement to any particular viewpoint being promoted within the association, but to provide the factual material upon which the democratic process within the union can go to work. SOURCES OF FUNDING ( Additional note prepared by Neal Swancott) A) Proposed Central American Conference- As the intention for this conference is to promote trade union organisation in Central America, it is recommended that a project designed to fall within the LO/ TCO education programme be prepared and submitted, and that reserved funds be sought from that organisation. The costs can be kept down if an arrangement can be agreed with the Costa Rican Minister for Culture on sponsored airfares to San Jose. If the project is not accepted by the LO/ TCO as falling within the education project rules, it is recommended that alternative sources of funds be sought either from an affiliate, or another international donor organisation. B) Proposed participation in technology seminar in Venezuela- This proposal does not appear to fall within the LO/ TCO education concept. It is recommended that this be accepted as a normal operating expense for the IFJ. C) Proposed Workshops in Peru- It is recommended that this proposal be designed as an LO/ TCO project, and that reserved funds be sought for it. D) Proposed conference in Santiago- It is recommended that funds for this project be sought from an affiliate or from a donor organisation other than the LO/ TCO. - E) Proposed underwriting of book publishing costs it is recommended that the IFJ seek a sponsor from among its affiliates for this cost. 10- The written report listo the areas of informat Part en which the Laisvowoll 86 asobfequotes 2a ns oala ai soliniboaas naivize od aidsiw sales of misle osal to to fo veb rasvelled 11 sausood oddsgnede Initiaubni da sevig daid of .359 070 noi soubs 13 01 bosatto ad bluode godaszow aid.. 11s yd beau 9d3 910led a bad- admom xin xem sd nifiiv noidsicoses fanoidnainagro zafustanaq yns og 1983) aim o anioqusiv eluoldaq yas od dnsmaxobne svig o od 300 blow 309 tw other det efence fund 1913 Tow end DAICHUT TO 2002 ( 330 all yd box osals 1s be adopt and that the Ger Colegio accordingly son ianolabbA) In addition, the mission members recommend to the Bateau aids 301-03 84-99A 190 baogor( A dois OOT\ 933 11 mob qex ed a 23805 T.me ii) that asium asiang di si cb9789.das: gore moinsubs seinsgro add mot quoe ed abqul 1980 dadea accend freedom issues in Chile as par campaign. of the internatione 1938 aidT- alsusema ni anime ygofondos i noieqiong beangor( qopubs 00 01 od midaiw list osob Iceoqzq sansque gnija79qo lamron a as beigsoos od eldt de bebelost al I The mission members have difficulty in recomending to the re24HR it adopt the specific recommendations of the Vezuvian affiliate Bobs in o agod dongboeesdae ball bevrbber Badin buze, taping 000 making process of the Peruvian association, and that is what proposed. sd zol about Jads bebemos ai slogain? mi son979100 beзoqos( a support of tive, or in financing the 20% sed odio leaders promoting ing this ob objective world, in the opinion of the mission, tes on instag at at má of boa such inv nt.
