Development Communication and Journalism Management (DCJM)
GNBI's journalism programs focus on the responsibility of the media to strengthen civil society, using the U.S. model of a free press to exemplify the ethical advantages of a separation between the media and the state. These programmes challenge the relationship between development communication and mass media.
The course targets all communicators from all sectors of economy. Development is participatory in nature. It requires engagement and participatory of target audiences and communities. Governments alone cannot drive process, it needs an integrated approach from the private sector, civil society and communities. It has become increasingly true that businesses need to communicate its development investment. In all these sectors, development communication demands skillful employment of techniques, critical thinking and ability to evaluate investment outcomes in a structured approach.
