International Media Support (IMS) (2009), 23 pp.
ISBN 87-92209-32-7
"One of the major obstacles to the development of a professional media is the lack of qualified education and training and media training remains a neglected area in Sudan. Education and training in journalism and related areas provided by universities are not responding sufficiently to the needs of building journalistic skills. Meanwhile, a number of media training initiatives carried out by Sudanese and international media training institutions have largely been conducted ad hoc but do not address the needs with a long-term and integrated vision, and without overall coordination and strategy framework. In order to address this need, International Media Support developed a project with the objective to map out lessons learned and the challenges and priorities for media training in Sudan."
