Revisiting the journalism and mass communication curriculum: Some experiences from Swaziland

This article reports on the changes the University of Swaziland is making to its journalism and mass communications curriculum. It does this in a number of contexts: the challenges facing journalism in the country; debates in the developed world on the correct route for journalism education and the needs for training that have been identified within Swaziland itself. Swaziland is not yet a democracy and the new curriculum is aspirational in that it identifies social justice and the need for journalists to provide a voice for the voiceless as key elements of the programme.
