The Inter University Media Challenge At KIU

Talent, Fun and Emotions Were Captured as the KIU Students auditioned at the Season 12 of the Inter-University Media Challenge.

The Inter University Media Challenge At KIU

Journalism is a profession that has gained importance in today’s digital era. Every day, the world becomes more connected with the advent of social media and digital-first platforms like websites and news apps. People are constantly getting information on their mobile phones and other devices. This has made journalists step up their game to meet the demand for news through mobile journalism commonly referred to as MOJO.

MOJO is a form of digital storytelling where the primary device used for creating and editing images, audio and video is a smartphone. Perhaps more than any other device, smartphones encourage cross-platform creativity and digital innovation.

On Thursday 25th August , our Head of Training Antonio Kisembo conducted the MOJO to a group of KIU journalism students. They learnt how to shoot ,edit and produce compelling stories using their smartphones, the pocket studios. On Friday, the students got to learn how to tailor radio programs into youth participatory radio shows that are highly engaging, entertaining as well as informative to the audience. This radio training session was conducted by Ali Kakembo, the MCI Radio Manager.

We are underway with Day 2️⃣ of the #MCIMobileNewsroom training.
