RCDIJ has expanded its capacity development reach for African journalists through the introduction of Geo-Journalism training.
In keeping with its commitment to mainstream new trends in journalism and accelerate continued adoption, Ripples Centre for Data and Investigative Journalism (RCDIJ) has expanded its capacity development reach for African journalists through the introduction of Geo-Journalism training.
This year, our dedicated platform for this important endeavour —RCDIJ Data Journalism Masterclass— will be focusing on Geo-Journalism, helping to guide African journalists into this relatively new area of journalism, especially in many parts of the continent, towards a more far-reaching and impactful journalism practice.
Our goal is to empower journalists to effectively report on the environment, with special focus on climate change and the place of strategic infrastructure intervention. Beneficiaries of our training will learn how to integrate data collection, analysis, visualization and reporting for a holistic coverage of the environment.
We believe empowering journalists to provide this service will help in the great cause of reversing the effects of climate change and boosting environmental sustainability.
Our esteemed partners for this masterclass include: Code for Africa, BudgIT, Tracka, The Journalism Clinic, JET Motor Company and Ripples Nigeria.
