Brazilian print, TV and online journalists are invited to participate in an online course in Portuguese, entitled "Digital Tools for Effective Public Service Journalism."

The course will teach participants how to use digital tools in multimedia packages to better cover issues affecting Brazil's poor. Topics include refined online search, map mashups, digital photos and videos, blogs and wikis.

During the course, journalists are expected to produce a report or website, or a proposal for a project. Ten outstanding participants will be brought to Sao Paulo for further training.
