UNESCO’s 2023/24 “Promoting excellence in journalism education in Africa” initiative saw journalism educators from every region of the continent define factors that contribute to and challenge excellence in journalism education. Through a two-phased process, the development of criteria for excellence, self-evaluation, and self-correcting project proposals were made by 53 journalism schools. Ten projects were selected and funded to address identified gaps. Selected projects focused on areas like data journalism, gender, and media sustainability. This paper provides an overview and analysis of the criteria participants used to define excellence and reports on trends in journalism education and training in Africa.
