Inter-University Media Challenge
This is at the center of MCI's strategic vision of building the next generation of journalists who are not only multi skilled but also critical participants as change agents in changing their communities and the negative African narrative.
Our Strategic Vision
- We believe that good journalism can make the world a better place
- We believe that the next generation of journalists is very essential in defining the future world through the stories they tell and how they tell them
- We believe that journalists can change the world by covering systems that work and help replicate them in other places.
- We believe that it’s no longer enough for journalist to just report about the Challenges of our time. We believe if we want to forge solutions to the greatest problems that our communities face Journalists must facilitate solutions and create a dialogue that ignites change
