Addis Ababa: Ethiopia
This entry features the Dean of the Faculty of Journalism and Communication, at Addis Ababa University.
The interview discusses the University’s various radio and media courses – as well as the Dean’s thoughts on Journalism in general in Ethiopia…
A country well known for its poor reputation for free press…
And for the Govts. harsh treatment of reporters.
Addis Ababa University is the oldest institution of higher education in Ethiopia – and their radio classes are proving to be very popular.
They aim to develop their radio courses in the future by establishing a “real world” community radio station on campus.
This interview was recorded in July, 2010.
Thanks to the British Council in Addis for their assistance in arranging the meeting.

Many countries like Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa are actually using the radio for change and development. Why does it fail in Ethiopia? It is ONLY the DEAN talking while it should be the journalists as in the other videos posted. Show the right MAN at the RIGHT PLACE. And finally, mass media is not about Feelings it is about real people and real changes in real life. Thanks!
