In August 2003, the IJMMT kicked of its third year of the program by training Egyptian print journalists.

The retooled session includes a three-week training in Bowling Green followed by internships at American newspapers, completed with a ten-day session in Bowling Green focused on “training of trainers.”  A new element is journalism curriculum development for Egyptian universities and equipment grants.  During the coming year, fifty print journalists will be trained in three groups.  The first session is schedule to begin mid-October.

The three-week intensive print journalism training session includes hands-on exercises and the creation of original print and web-based material.  Simultaneously, working with an Egyptian counterpart, a WKU curriculum developer will create a comprehensive curriculum to be launched as a pilot program at an Egyptian university.  After the three-week internships, the Egyptian participants return to Bowling Green for the final training session.  As a key element of the program, experienced US trainers, who specialize in teaching the participants how to be effective trainers, will help create a cadre of trainers from the participant pool who will return to their respective papers and conduct training for their colleagues.
