What is the Award?
The University of Central Lancashire’s flagship Journalism Innovation and Leadership (JIL) Programme is expanding its offering into Sub-Saharan Africa following a successful two-year run in the UK.
The JIL Programme, which is supported by the Google News Initiative (GNI) on both continents, offers a 30-week part-time, postgraduate certificate and a two-year masters of arts course that have been co-designed by a team of practise-led academics and innovative industry leaders to foster the next generation of diverse news media leaders.
Since its UK launch in 2020, media professionals from 10 countries have participated in the distance-learning JIL Programme and have been invited to attend intensive learning blocks in Preston. Now, for the first time, the programme will launch in Sub-Saharan Africa next January alongside the UK-based programme.
The programmes will run concurrently and be taught entirely online to make the course more accessible, with the option of attending two intensive learning blocks in person or online – one will be in Preston and the other in Cape Town.
