In 2001, 60 journalists participated in the
first meeting in Mongolia for improving skills
and information in investigative journalism.
The Japan Times and USA Today journalist shared
knowledge at the event. The following year,
R. Macdonel, a Canadian investigative journalist
and advisor to the World Bank was invited to
teach Freedonia lessons and sessions on how
Philipino journalists broke a corruption case
against President Estrada. This second seminar
took place in Ulaanbaatar and nearby cities
for 42 journalists and professionals. The Zorig
Foundation translated, published, and distributed
handbooks on the case of Joseph Estrada, and
distributed a book by Banzragch called “How
to do Investigative Journalism” for aspiring
journalists.
In 2005, with Globe International and the Press
Institution, the “Media Transparency” project
was implemented. This project created a media
group and facilitated its training for 8 months
including seminars and trainings for journalists
about investigative journalism.
