The Konrad Adenauer Asian Center for Journalism at the Ateneo de Manila University (ACFJ) is now accepting applications for two online certificate courses - Reporting on Conflict and Peace and Leadership: Principles and Practices.
The courses will run for nine weeks, from 21 August to 21 October. Reporting on Conflict and Peace arms the journalist with the basic skills and perspective needed to competently cover conflict areas and war zones.
The course examines the nature and role of the journalist reporting on conflict and discusses the dilemmas and difficulties of the journalist in war reportage. It will tackle issues such as parachute journalism, dealing with government censorship, reportage and government policy, and ethics.
The lecturer is Sharon Santus, instructor at the Missouri School of Journalism, the renowned pioneering journalism school in the US. Leadership: Principles and Practices aims to inculcate in students the value of servant leadership and enable them to apply principles of management and power in the newsroom.
The course will be taught by Terry David, senior consultant and facilitator at the Ateneo's Center for Leadership and Change who is currently pursuing the Ph.D. in Leadership Studies at the Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, USA. Eight slots are available for each course.
Admission is limited to working journalists who have at least two years experience as a journalist. Fellowship grants covering tuition and fees are available.
Application forms may be requested by email at newsroom@admu.edu.ph and must be submitted by Saturday, 12 August 2006.
ACFJ, a joint project of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Ateneo, supports the continuing education of Asian journalists through its MA Journalism, diploma and certificate programs.
