Abstract:
Media is going through a massive change globally as an impact of burgeoning information and telecommunication technology. Increased global ICT penetration and media convergence are posing new challenges to media organizations, news desks and staff. In this backdrop tertiary educational institutions need to calibrate their study programs to reflect these developments. This paper highlights how four institutions in the Netherlands, Germany, Turkey and Norway are developing their study programs in Media and Communication Studies and in Journalism Studies to meet some of these challenges.
