Getting the Story and Telling it Right, HIV on TV: A Handbook for Television Producers and Trainers

Telling the HIV story can be done with respect, dignity and sensitivity. It needs exposure to priority issues so that a wide range of stakeholders including individuals, households, communities and policy-makers can be involved in preventive action. Recognizing the need to accelerate non-formal preventive education, UNESCO's Network of Young TV Producers on HIV and AIDS facilitates workshops through which 200 TV producers have been able to create more than 100 TV items for free transmission in more than 70 countries. This handbook is intended for TV producers who wish to make that extra effort; it aims to enlarge possibilities for accurate and credible TV reports on HIV and AIDS.
