The Workshop on Media and Forced Migration Gangtok, Sikkim dated 21-23 January 2011
Eviction from one’s homeland occurs because of various causes, including conflict, natural or manmade disasters and the so-called development drives. As a result, people are forced to migrate and relocate often amid poor living conditions, uncertainty and insecurity. This problem is encountered in many parts of the world, and the North-east is one of the hotspots today. However, it often does not get due coverage in the media, and many journalists feel that the resources, tools and skills to cover this issue at their disposal is inadequate. The Gangtok media workshop sought to address this issue. Its purpose was to discuss and prepare a toolkit and reader for media persons in the North-east on forced migration.
