https://www.ru.ac.za/media/rhodesuniversity/content/research/documents/Annual%20Research
%20Report%202010.pdf
Members of the School of Journalism and Media Studies produced research on a range of themes, including media and democracy, press freedom, media ethics, tabloid journalism, media policy, citizen journalism and journalism education.
In addition to the publication of research in books, book chapters and journal articles, the School also played host to influential international and local conferences.
The School hosted the second World Journalism Education Congress (WJEC2), which positioned the School at the centre of journalism education research globally. Several staff members presented papers at the conference, which was attended by 393 delegates from 54 countries, including 23 African countries. This is more than double the number of delegates at the previous conference which was held in Singapore. Of the total delegates, 170 were African. Separately, at the annual Highway Africa conference which coincided with the WJEC2, 260 delegates were registered.
The event also saw the launch of a draft model syllabus for a course in Reporting Africa compiled by Professor Fackson Banda and others, and supported by UNESCO. Prominent guest speakers included Advocate Pansy Tlakula, African Union’s Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression, and Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu.
The School hosted a colloquium on press freedom in South Africa, in response to the proposed Media Tribunal and Protection of Information Bill. Papers from the colloquium are to be published in a special issue of Ecquid Novi: African Journalism Studies. This journal is edited by Professor Herman Wasserman and is hosted in the School of Journalism and Media Studies as of 2010.
Professors Jane Duncan, Larry Strelitz, Lynette Steenveld and Anthea Garman were awarded a Sanpad grant for a study “Youth Identity, Media Use and Consumption, and the Public Sphere in South Africa”. The research is being done in collaboration with Dr Adam Haupt, Dr Tanja Bosch and Dr Musa Ndlovu from the University of Cape Town and Wadim Schreiner of Media Tenor. The Dutch partners are Dr Nico Drok and Professor Irene Costera Meier from School of Media, Windesheim.
Sephis awarded Professor Anthea Garman, Dr Anil Persaud, Radhika Borde and Dr Mario Rufer a grant for the project “Troubling memories: a history of identities from India, Africa and Latin America” as part of their South-South exchange programme for developing research.
A range of papers and guest lectures were presented by members of the School. These include a presentation by Professor Jane Duncan to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Communications on “Public
participation and accountability of public broadcasters”, and a keynote address by Professor Wasserman at the workshop ‘Mobile phones: the new talking drums of everyday Africa?’ at the African Studies Centre, University of Leiden, Netherlands. Professor Lynette Steenveld was an invited speaker at the ESRC Seminar Series
“Widening Ethnic Diversity in Journalism: Towards Solutions” at the University of Sheffield, England, and Professor Wasserman was an invited speaker at the conference “New Media/Alternative Politics: Communication Technologies and Political Change in the Middle East and Africa” held at the University of Cambridge, England as well as at the Centre d’Etudes Comparées en Communication Politique et Publique, Université Paris 12, in Paris, France.
Paul Hills was a Humphreys and Fulbright Fellow at the University of Maryland in Baltimore USA, doing research on community media. Among the books and book chapters published was Professor Wasserman’s monograph, Tabloid journalism in South Africa: True Story! with Indiana University Press, which was republished by UCT Press and the co-edited volume Media Ethics Beyond.
