Conclusion of “Journalistic coverage in conflict zones” course for Sudanese journalists in the last week of June 2023, Al Jazeera Media Institute concluded a “Journalistic coverage in conflict zones” course for around forty trainees via visual communication.
The participants were trained by three experts from Al Jazeera Media Institute for nine training hours, where the expert Othman Kabbashi trained trainees on standards and caveats (do and don’t) in journalistic coverage during times of war and conflicts. Then Jabr Jumaa led them through rules of news verification and how to avoid disinformation in news coverage during times of war. And finally, expert Ibrahim Saber Al-Deek briefed them on the required security rules and safety regulations for journalists to avoid expected risks in conflict zones. 
 This course came as a result of Al Jazeera Media Institute professional commitment to help Sudanese journalists to carry out professional and ethical news coverage that respects the principles and values of journalism and to keep the right balance between the public's right for information and the role of social responsibility of journalism, while at the same time ensuring safety of journalists.
