Exploring Journalism and Mass Communication Training in Kenya: A National Survey
Ireri, Kioko
Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, v73 n3 p293-307 Sep 2018
Conducted in 2012 to 2013, the current national survey of Kenyan journalists (N = 504) examines major characteristics of journalism and mass communication training in Kenya. Findings show that training in journalism or mass communication is a prerequisite to practice as a journalist in Kenya. While 45% of journalists were trained at the level of associate degree, 91% said they need to get further training. Kenya Institute of Mass Communication is the most popular institution of journalism and mass communication. Moreover, 65% of respondents perceive the quality of journalism training as good--though in contrast to this favorable evaluation, local colleges face a litany of serious problems.
