Join the Urban Journalism Academy in Bogotá
1 October 2016
UCLG is holding an Urban Journalism Academy in Bogotá (Colombia) in the framework of the World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders.
Media and communications professionals play a crucial role in raising awareness of urban issues among the general public. Journalists chronicle life in the city, who give voice to urban changes and communicate the different dimensions of urban reality.
This years’ World Summit of local and regional leaders will include an Urban Journalism Academy, with the aim of encouraging a more proactive and effective role of the media in the development of cities at local, national and international levels.
The Urban Journalism Academy (UJA), co-organised by UCLG and the Habitat III Secretariat, is a pioneering and innovative initiative to train journalists and media professionals who are interested in urban development and the social, economic and economic issues facing cities in the 21st century.
