Workshop for Journalists successfully organized in Santo Domingo

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, April 3, 2018 – A workshop for journalists and photographers to cover the upcoming National District Women’s Superior Volleyball Tournament was organized by the local association on Tuesday.

The workshop was under the direction of Roosevelt Comarazamy, NORCECA Press Director, who was accompanied by the experienced photographer Ernesto Beltré and VIS supervisors Yanida Pascual and Bienvenido Mateo.

Comarazamy shared his experiences covering world and Olympic events during his presentation under the title “Volleyball for Everyone”.

The veteran journalist was introduced by his colleague Renaldo Bodden, press officer of the Dominican Volleyball Federation.

“It was a good experience as I encouraged all participants to get involved with the sport and learn by the experiences of everyday,” Comarazamy said. “In sports the most important things are those that you learn after you know.”

Bodden said the results were very positive as we approach the start of the competition next Friday.

More than 40 journalists took part of the course which prompted Nelson Ramírez, director of the NORCECA Regional Development Center to praise their interest.

Angel Rivas, president of the association welcomed the participants and Cristobal Marte Hoffiz, president of NORCECA commented on the importance of the course for a correct interpretation of what is going on in a particular match.

He remarked on the fact that volleyball is a discipline that pays importance to communications with the fans.

The event is dedicated to the First Lady of the Dominican Republic Mme Candida Montilla de Medina and four teams are registered to participate – Mirador, Cristo Rey, Guerreras and Caribeñas.

The Tournament is backed by the Ministry of Sports of the Dominican Republic and the Municipality of Santo Domingo, National District.
