Media professionals have access to training
facilitates offering formal qualification programmes
as well as opportunities to upgrade skills.
The Labour Law makes provisions for staff training. However, access to training
institutions is a matter of personal initiative.
Media professionals who undergo training therefore have to keep up with their
usual workload, which has an adverse effect on their training conditions. There is a
school of journalism which offers a mid-level diploma and four offering a degree
in journalism. The first degree programme in journalism only started in 2002,
producing the first 10 graduates in 2006. There is no training in work-related risk
management, just as there is no life insurance for journalists.
Members of the panel said that university-level training in journalism has still to
meet certain quality standards, seeing as it is missing a strong practical component.
