Abstract
In 2006, Unesco contracted two universities to research African journalism schools, Rhodes University's School of Journalism and Media Studies (RU) and Ecole Supérieure de Journalisme de Lille (ESJ). The major outcome of the research was intended to be a list of potential Centres of Excellence in African journalism education. However, to reach this point, two preliminary stages were required: first, to map the universe of African schools, and second, to define the criteria and indicators for what would constitute such centres. For the purposes of this overview, focus will be on the mapping part of the project, reporting on some of the issues involved and the significance of this part of the research. The full report of the project is available online at: www.Unesco.org/webworld/en/african-journalism-schools-report.
