THE DEVELOPMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGE TRAINING MATERIALS FOR JOURNALISTS
Year when project approved:
2015
Approved budget:
US$11 325.00
To that end, AUCC has developed both a Climate Change course for its final year (Level 400) students, and also a 2-4 week training course for journalists currently employed in the field. The broad aim of these courses is to educate the journalists on climate change in order to equip them to educate their communities on the need to protect and sustain Planet Earth in order to guarantee quality human life. Training people to become effective journalists is important because journalists help the communication process at two levels: (1) analysis to bring sense and structure out of the never- 15 ending flow of data and (2) presentation to get what is important and relevant into the consumer’s head.
