Media Co-Op Program
Media Co-Ops are collaborative highly intensive U.S. work and travel programs usually involving a reporter and a camera person accompanied by a U.S. Embassy facilitator/producer. These provide an opportunity to report from the United States, traveling throughout the country and interviewing policymakers, activists, professionals, and everyday citizens that will help them tell a story about the United States through their lens, on topics of mutual interest, but related to U.S. Mission Kosovo goals – peace, justice, and prosperity.
