Jerry Barnaby and Peter Laufer travel to Egypt to select the first group of Egyptian journalists from the training program.  The selection takes place in Cairo in early September. 

Laufer, award-winning journalist and writer, and Barnaby, Co-Project Director the IJMMTy, will work with staff from the Al-Ahram Regional Press Institute (ARPI) to select the journalists. 

The first set of 18 to 20 Egyptian journalists will arrive in mid-October for the inaugural 8-week training session.  Simultaneously, a WKU curriculum developer will work with an Egyptian counterpart to develop a pilot journalism curriculum for Egyptian universities.
