The journalism education at NLA Medieh\u00f8gskolen will participate in the construction of journalism education in Uganda and Rwanda. The project Preparing Practitioners for a Resilient Media in Eastern Africa<\/em> has received 20 million Norwegian crowns (approximately 120,000 euro) from Norad (the Directorate for Development Cooperation under the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and its NORHED program. Partner universities in Africa are Uganda Christian University and the University of Rwanda. The project is led by Terje Skjerdal, associate professor of media studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Finland, the employment of journalism students in the labor market will be followed up with a survey over the next 10 years. The project Journalists’ individualising career paths<\/em> is carried out in collaboration between Tampere University and Turku University of Applied Sciences, and it has received funding of 168,000 euros from the Helsingin Sanomat Foundation, which will cover the first three years. The project is led by Laura Ahva, tenure track professor of journalism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n At the University of Tampere, the development of the journalistic students’ scientific approach will also be examined in a project that has received a grant of 196,000 euro from the Helsingin Sanomat Foundation. The project TAJU \u2013 development of a scientific approach during university studies in journalism and communication<\/em> is led by Leena Mikkola, tenure track professor of communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nordic journalism teachers will also be researched within the framework of an international survey in which 34 countries participate. The project Journalistic roles, values \u200b\u200band qualifications in the 21st Century: How journalism educators across the globe view the future of a profession in transition<\/em> will be implemented in Denmark (including Greenland), Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
