The training sessions, which include 9 AA journalists, and 15 foreign journalists from nine different countries—Djibouti, Tunisia, Senegal, Niger, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, the Republic of Guinea, and Chad—provide information on how journalists working in disasters such as war, fire, flood, and earthquake should act under difficult conditions, both theoretically and through practical applications.

The second week of War Journalism Training began with a class on “vehicle safety and advanced driving techniques” at the Traffic Department of the Police Academy's Gölbaşı Campus.

Accompanied by experts, trainees drove vehicles on five different courses, experiencing driving precautions that prioritize safety in case of emergencies that may occur in the field.

The next day, trainees continuing their courses at the Department of Special Operations in the same complex received various training sessions from experts on the subjects of “weapons and ballistics” and “first aid.”

They marched the mountain, and kept watch throughout the night

That same evening, participants traveled to the Elmadağ Police Academy Training Ground with their backpacks and technical equipment as part of training on “ambush and ambush prevention methods, route finding, and night navigation practices.”

After a 6-kilometer hike to the area, the trainees spent the night in posts they had built themselves.

Taking turns keeping watch until morning to avoid being detained during the police raid drills, as required by the scenario, the participants returned to the Department of Special Operations by walking back along the same route at first light.

Participants approached the village, which had been occupied by a group of terrorists who had taken two journalists hostage according to the scenario, via an “infiltration course” and took footage.

The trainees also administered first aid to the injured journalists in the village and evacuated them.
