Certificate in Digital News Management: Call for enrolment

The increasing uptake of the internet globally has seen a corresponding rise in its use as a publishing tool. With this, the centuries-old traditional media landscape has witnessed a shift in both methods of delivery and a democratization of publishing power.

To a large extent however, the processes, values and ethics that have been a part of the industry for centuries have not been passed on with the same rapid pace leading to abuses of the responsibilities that come with publishing and a marked difference in quality of output.

As online news media begin to gain dominance and their impact grows stronger, the need to ensure that that same ability is executed with professional responsibility has never been greater.
