Journalism Education and Sustainable Development in the Niger Delta Region: A Focus on Bayelsa State
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
This study draws its thrust from the fact that journalism is extremely crucial to the world because of societal complexities and the limitations of man. The supposition in this regard is that journalism in every organic setting enables an individual react intelligently to his environment and adapt knowledgeably to his society. The core objective bordered on the need to illuminate discourses on journalism education with a view to ascertaining an association link with sustainable development using Bayelsa State as a point of focus. Document analysis and participatory Cluster Observation (PCO) formed the bedrock for methodology. Findings from secondary data analysis (empirical review) affirmed an association link between journalism education and sustainable development. Findings further revealed that Bayelsa State ranks the least, on a scale of three South – South states, in terms of institutions of higher learning with journalism offering. The imputation therefore is that knowledge and attitude are the core embellishments of journalism education that can most certainly bring about the actualization and optimization of human potentials. It was therefore recommended that there is need to develop a framework for journalism education that allows for constructive engagement so as to engender sustainable development.
