Beginning today, 10 journalists from Africa are participating in sessions at the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia to discuss broadcast journalism, media education, online media, and business models for success. The African journalists are participating in the Edward R. Murrow Program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State.
