Malaria and Media - Course Manual

The Malaria and Media book is a course manual used in workshops for the media to develop the media’s knowledge of malaria, their advocacy skills, and professional practice related to malaria reporting. The manual (on which the workshops are based) aims to guide the media on how to report on malaria in ways that would contribute to malaria control and positively influence the attitudes and behaviours of community members and decision makers. The manual also aims to help the media plan for a news story, radio, or television show that will incorporate malaria messages in a creative and strategic way.

The manual is broken down into seven workshop activities:
