Description
Summary:Momentum has been building toward the international networking of journalism educators, as evidenced by, among other events and trends, the second World Journalism Education Congress in South Africa, July 5-7, 2010. Previously, there were "parachute professors" and "the transfer of an ideology" from global journalism centers outward. The example of long-standing global journalists' and publishers' organizations provides a model for educators; the success of two World Journalism Education Congresses (and strong interest in a third), fundraising opportunities, and other factors suggest further progress is possible and likely. An international organization such as the existing World Journalism Education Council could even help overcome local resource limits and job stresses by helping to link journalism educators on a national or regional basis to those agencies who have resources.
