All around the globe, the media report on local, national and international events affecting the lives of women and men workers. However, many news organizations lack labour specialists among their staff correspondents, and many media workers have no opportunity to acquire in-depth knowledge of workers' rights and related labour issues. This accounts for distorted information and the missing link often perceived in media coverage between the moral outrage expressed by the public and the facts that caused it. To bridge this gap, the International Training Centre of the ILO (ITC-ILO) trains journalists and other media workers on the relevance of international labour standards (ILS) adopted and supervised by the ILO to accurate and responsible media reporting which can further advance freedom of expression and respect for the rights at work.
