| dc.description.abstract | This chapter discusses the outcomes from a stakeholders'
workshop organised by the School of Journalism and
Mass Communication, University of Nairobi, with a view
to discussing not only the various challenges faced by
the media in the region, but also come up with practical
solutions to the problems. The workshop participants
included members of the academia (trainers) and those
from the media fraternity (journalists and managers) in
the region.
This chapter is, therefore, the product of presentations
and group discussions from a three-day workshop
held between the 9th and the 11th of April 2008 on
community, and citizen/web journalism). Trainers and researchers
in media and journalism, as well as journalists from the nongovernmental
organisations (NGOs) were also in attendance. The
chapter thus forms an important bridge between conceptual or
theoretical reflections and practical considerations on the media in
the region. | en_US |
