After our last media training workshop in Armenia, we´ve been monitoring our trainees' work by helping them with pitches for international media outlets and, eventually, with their stories.The war in the southern Caucasus region is not over. The international media is seemingly putting the focus elsewhere but civilians in Nagorno Karabakh are facing a lack of basic services such as water and electricity and, very specially, security. Clashes are still a common currency, several villages have either been emptied or cut in two by the new boundaries between Armenia and Azerbaijan and thousands of families remain displaced. Foreign journalists are no longer on the ground, so the work of the local ones is as crucial as ever.
This is how they´re telling the story.
