African Journalism Educators’ Network

ABOUT AJENDA

AJENda is the newsletter of the African Journalism Educators’ Network, which was founded to create a community of journalism educators and practitioners across Africa.

Produced by Fojo Media Institute and Wits Journalism, AJENda aims to facilitate networking and information exchange between journalism educators on the continent.

AJENda publishes articles, a list of opportunities and sends out a monthly newsletter to keep colleagues aware of changes to the journalism landscape in Africa from an academic, research and practical point of view.

The network and newsletter are funded by Sida, the Swedish development agency, through the Consortium for Human Rights and Media.
