Urban Journalism Academy
Urban Journalism Academy
Description
Media and communications professionals’ role is crucial to expand the level of consciousness of the wider audience. They have the opportunity to spread knowledge and share reflections on urban issues. Journalists are already the ones who chronicle life in the city, who give voice to urban changes and who describe the urban reality from different points of view. For that reason, the World Summit programme inlcudes an Urban Journalism Academy, with the aim of encouraging a more proactive and substantive role of media in the development of the city, at international, national and local levels.
The Urban Journalism Academy (UJA) is co-organized by UCLG and the Habitat III Secretariat. The UJA is a pioneering and innovative initiative to train journalists and media professionals who are interested or involved in urban development with reference to social, economic and economic issues facing cities in the 21st Century.
The session will take place the 12th October, with the participation of journalist and media professsionals, representatives of local and regional governments and representatives of United Cities and Local Governments and UN Habitat.
