The World Journalism Education Congress is taking place in South Africa with the theme of “Journalism education in an age of radical change.”
Unfortunately I could not attend but I am following the sessions on the conference’s site and through the Twitter hashtag #WJEC2.
One of the areas of discussion is the place of social media in the journalism curriculum, and more specifically Twitter. One of the j-prof talking about this at the WJEC is Julie Posetti from the University of Canberra.
In this clip, she explains why Twitter should be taught in journalism schools.
