The relevance of journalism education in Kenya for professional identity and ethical standards

Abstract

'The world of journalism and mass communication is being challenged at this time to tackle growing concerns around journalism practice and training due the spread of mediocrity, unethical behaviour, lack of professionalism in journalism practice, the abuse and denial of press freedom and the commercialization of the media landscape, which tends to undermine human dignity, human rights and liberty.' In this book, Ms Egbujor presents a well-founded and valid hypothesis using a qualitative research approach in search for purposeful journalism education and offers recommendations for improved identity and ethical standards.
