“Enhance the role of the media in a democracy and promote the move towards professional and free media in the Southern African region”

The specific aim of NSJ as a non-governmental organization is to enhance the skills and professionalism of mid-career journalists and other media practitioners and media trainers in Southern Africa. The broader vision is one of Southern Africa’s citizens being still better informed and equipped in order to participate actively in the formation of just and democratic societies.

Today NSJ is Southern Africa’s most important regional mid-career training institution for journalists and media managers. Most of the NSJ courses consists of  two-week sessions that cover varying topics related to knowledge, skills and attitudes of media practitioners.

NSJ courses funded from its core budget are offered free of charge. Participants are, however, required to finance 45% of the travel costs.
