The University of Professional
\nStudies, Accra (UPSA) is to host the 2019 edition of the Newsroom Contest
\nscheduled to begin on Monday, November 4, and end on Tuesday, November 12,
\n2019. \u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0<\/p>\nThis year\u2019s contest is the fourth
\nedition since it was instituted in 2015, with the goal of injecting an
\nextracurricular activity in the training of communication students by giving
\nthem the needed experiential value in the field of Journalism, Public
\nRelations, Advertising and Integrated Communication among others, and also
\nexpose them to best communication practices geared towards national
\ndevelopment.<\/p>\n
According to the Founder and
\nPresident of the Newsroom Contest, Mr. Raymond Baxey, the Newsroom Contest
\ncontributes in deepening the understanding of communication and its practice outside
\nthe lecture halls, adding \u201cit builds their confidence in the area of writing,
\npublic speaking, communication strategies and research and makes them more
\nanalytical.\u201d<\/p>\n
He noted that the novelty with this
\nyear\u2019s contest is the report to be generated from the contest on the
\nperformance of students highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. This
\nreport he said would be submitted to authorities of competing universities with
\nthe aim of contributing to academia to arrest any shortfall in the training of
\ncommunication students. \u201cI believe this is another way of contributing to the
\ncommunication training and the industry at large,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The semi-finalists of this year\u2019s
\ncontest he said would have the opportunity to represent Ghana in a maiden
\nECOWAS Newsroom Contest to be hosted in Ghana, in March next year, when the
\nNewsroom Contest turns five years. <\/p>\n
Mr. Baxey noted that six universities
\nwould be vying for the coveted prize and the bragging right as the best school
\noffering communication and media related programmes. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
