Model Journalism Curricula from UNESCO
— ikram • June 27th, 2007
After year-long consultations with university faculties, journalist training organizations, newspaper industries and journalism education associations, UNESCO produced a document on model journalism curricula. This document is launched in Singapore at the World Journalism Education Congress (26/6).
Specialized for Developing Countries and Emerging Democracies, it is a generic model that can be adapted according to each country’s specific needs. It takes full cognizance of the social, economic, political and cultural contexts of developing countries and emerging democracies, highlighting the connection between democracy and journalism and arguing for a more cross-disciplinary approach within journalism training centres.
