Plenary 1: |
The African Experience Many broadcasting for development initiatives have been implemented in Africa, with mixed results. What are the most effective initiatives currently underway? What constraints do broadcasters face that work against more consistent, contextualized and process-oriented coverage of key development issues? What training is presently available for journalists working on development issues and is it sufficient? Do broadcasters communicate effectively with policy makers and development experts? |
