• Internet training for journalists;
• distribution of press releases to regional and national media sources;
• publication of a weekly news bulletin, Media Monitoring Report, summarizing topics of interest from more than 90 regional and national newspapers in Kazakstan. Subscribers include international organizations, embassies, and private companies. MMR is available in hard copy and via e-mail. To subscribe, contact: [email protected].
