Mapping Journalism Training Centres in sub-Saharan Africa
2020 (English)Report (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
Abstract [en]
Journalism training and education in sub-Saharan Africa is flourishing. It is offered by universities, colleges, institutes and schools, non-profit organisations, media councils, regulators, trade unions, state broadcasters, and the commercial media, amongst others. A preliminary and incomplete scan of 19 countries that we did at the start of this study, and where we only used reliable databases and sources, came to at least 127 centres, mostly universities, colleges and institutes. In Nigeria alone there are said to be 66 centres;1 in South Africa, a recent study narrowed down a substantial list to 13 institutions;2 while the government provided a list of 19 public universities offering journalism education in Ethiopia.
