Media Campaigns Compete to Reduce Drug Use
On November 30, an awards ceremony was held for the winners of the “The World without Narcotics” competition conducted under the auspices of the USAID-funded Drug Demand Reduction Program (DDRP) in partnership with Internews Tajikistan. The competition promoted development and active involvement of mass media in Tajikistan, and increased professional skills of radio and television journalists in covering drug abuse issues and delivering information about healthy living. Some expanded the theme to connect the dots to other social challenges, such as migration and the spread of HIV, in modern Tajik society.
Seven works were submitted under the category “TV Reporting”, three works under the category “TV Program”, and 19 works under the category “Radio Public Service Announcement.” The entries were aired on TV and radio from January 1 to August 1.
