"This report offers an overview of journalism training and education centres in sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on 10 countries. Although the primary emphasis of this research was on institutions such as universities, schools, colleges and institutes, we took a loose definition of ‘centres’ to include some initiatives in the non-profit sector, as well as those closely aligned to the commercial media. The purpose was to try to identify trends in journalism education and training in sub-Saharan Africa, challenges and areas of creativity and teaching, and what we called ‘centres responding to a changing environment’. The last mapping study of journalist training centres across the continent appears to have been done over 10 years ago by Unesco, although country-specific studies have subsequently emerged. Journalist training needs are also currently being researched in at least two new studies that are likely to appear soon. This report then should be read in the context of these studies." (Page 8)
