Telecommunication giant, Airtel Nigeria, is set to stage the second edition of the sponsorship of digital journalism training for journalists in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The training under the aegis of The Journalism Clinic, would like the first edition be facilitated by international digital journalism trainer, Dan Mason.<\/p>\n

Focus of the 2017 training will be extended to data journalism even as the previous multimedia storytelling will be retained.<\/p>\n

Founder\/Director of The Journalism Clinic (TJC), Taiwo Obe said, \u201cWe decided that it would be more beneficial to add data journalism training to the curriculum this time as it has become important for journalists to be able to apply digital tools to break down the increasing deluge of data particularly from governments.\u201d<\/p>

The plan, he added, is to train 50 multimedia storytellers and 50 data journalists in two locations \u2013 Lagos and Kaduna.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Airtel\u2019s rationale for the sponsorship, the Managing Director\/Chief Executive Officer, Airtel Nigeria Mr. Segun Ogunsanya, said; \u201cWe are delighted to be sponsoring this training, for the second time, because we strongly believe that the more equipped our journalists are, the better for our society.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the organisers are yet to confirm the exact dates, locations and enrolment criteria which would be announced soon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, founder of TJC, Taiwo Obe told National Wire<\/a> that interested journalists should be on the lookout for the announcement of the date and selection criteria.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Airtel Nigeria sponsored 100 journalists across different cities in collaboration with TJC on the training which beneficiaries adjudged to be worthwhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
