This is a high-level course that targets editors-in-chief, news directors and news editors who supervise journalists and other media professionals in today’s multi-platform newsrooms such as business editors, economics editors, features editors, programme and content editors, and sports editors in the print, broadcast and converged media. It gives participants conceptual understandings and practical knowledge and skills of managing media organizations in an era of permanent and discontinuous change.

Through the use of case studies, scenario planning and simulations, the course addresses key challenges of leadership and management in media’s increasingly ambiguous and uncertain operating environment and focuses on challenges that face newsroom editors in Africa, in particular, and in our world. The course’s modules include Leadership for Excellence; Strategic Management, Managing Change; Managing Teams and Individuals; and Managing Stakeholder Engagement and Partnerships.
