New Digital Media Center opens at Somali National university
The new Digital Media Center at SNU is a significant step towards a practical and modernised journalism education that meets the demands of today’s media landscape. It includes a training studio for journalism students and is equipped with modern and easy-to-use cameras, microphones, studio lighting and computers for editing.
The first training held in the new center was a five-day training for both journalism students and working journalists in Mobile Journalism, conducted by Ahmed Absie from Green Media Initiative - GMI . Ahmed Absie has also capacitated journalism educators that are now ready to integrate the Digital Media Center and thus more practical assignments into regular journalism programmes at the university.
