Management 2000:
Exploring
training needs of editors in the countries of Southern African Development
Community (SADC)
by
Peter du Toit and Guy Berger 1998
Editors
at print and broadcast institutions in the SADC region are generally elevated
to management levels because of their performance as journalists, but they often
feel they have not been prepared for their new responsibilities. The NSJC and
the Department of Journalism and Media Studies at Rhodes University have recognised
these concerns and are collaborating in a joint project aimed at assessing the
management training needs of SADC editors and designing a training programe
to address these needs. This report outlines the research phase of this collaboration
and details the course content that will emerge from this project.
