The
\nGhana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) has been kicked out by the University of
\nProfessional Studies (UPSA) in the Newsroom Contest, an event organised by
\nCheetah Communications.<\/p>\n
The
\ncontestants from UPSA made their way to the end of the tunnel with a total
\nscore of 178, with the GIJ garnering 168.<\/p>\n
By
\nthis feat, UPSA will face the Wisconsin University College for the first and
\nsecond positions respectively, while GIJ faces AUCC for the third and fourth positions
\nrespectively.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s contest is the fourth edition since it was instituted in
\n2015, with the goal of injecting an extracurricular activity in the training of
\ncommunication students by giving them the needed experiential value in the
\nfield of journalism, public relations, advertising, integrated communication, among
\nothers, and also expose them to best communication practices geared towards
\nnational development.<\/p>\n
According to the Founder & President of the Newsroom Contest, Raymond
\nBaxey, the contest contributes in deepening the understanding of communication
\nand its practice outside the lecture halls, adding, \u201cIt builds their confidence
\nin the area of writing, public speaking, communication strategies and research
\nand makes them more analytical.\u201d<\/p>\n
He stated that the novelty with this year\u2019s contest is the report to be
\ngenerated from the contest on the performance of students highlighting their
\nstrengths and weaknesses. <\/p>\n
This report, he said, would be submitted to authorities of competing
\nuniversities with the aim of contributing to academia to arrest any shortfall
\nin the training of communication students. <\/p>\n
\u201cI believe this is another way of contributing to the communication
\ntraining and the industry at large,\u201d Mr. Baxey added.<\/p>\n
The semi-finalists of this year\u2019s contest would have the opportunity to represent Ghana in a maiden ECOWAS Newsroom Contest to be hosted in Ghana in March next year, when the Newsroom Contest turns five years. <\/p>\n
