Media Center / Workshops for Economic Journalist


The first workshop on 'Covering Economic Data' held on June 22, 2018

The first workshop in a series of six workshops for economic journalists was held at State Bank of Pakistan Learning Resource Center in June 2018. The topic was Covering Economic Data and the purpose of the session was to teach economic journalists how to understand and interpret economic data and how to tell stories using that data that would enhance the understanding of general public about important economic issues. The training workshop was divided into three parts. In the first part, an SBP expert gave a detailed presentation using inflation and real GDP as examples of economic data. He explained how data is collected and presented as well as how it can be interpreted. In the second part of the session, the media trainer presented on why economic data is covered, how to collect information, how to mine for economic data and how to relate that data to everyday economic life. Additionally, several examples of economic data stories from the international press were discussed in class as case studies to analyse how this information can be humanized and made accessible to the general public. In the last session, workshop participants were given a set of economic data which they used to prepare a detailed story plan based on the principles learned during the workshop. Through the group critique carried out after the final assignment  it was determined that the participants learned how to understand economic data, how to relate it to people participating in the economy and how to present stories that raised public awareness.
