The Central University of Technology, Free State (CUT) again this year presented its Community Journalism Project to learners from Bloemfontein who are interested in following a career in journalism.
The Community Journalism Project is a joint venture between the CUT’s Department of Communication Sciences and Central Media Group – a multi-media company specialising in print, electronic, radio and digital platforms.
The project takes on the form of an interactive workshop whereby CUT third-year journalism students share their knowledge and expertise with prospective journalism students. High-school learners with an interest in journalism, particularly community journalism, were introduced to the many and exciting aspects of the journalism industry. The CUT students gave an overview of the journalism industry and practical hands-on tips as to how to become a good journalist. Various learners from Sentraal High School, Fichard Park High School and Jim Fouché High School attended the workshop.
