Assessing the Best Practices in Media and Communication Training Isaac Mutwiri Mutunga
Jurnal Komunikasi Islam Vol. 5 No. 1 (2015): June
Publisher : Program Studi Komunikasi dan Penyiaran Islam Fakultas Dakwah dan Komunikasi UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya

This article tries to assess how Media and Com–munication training in Kenya has adapted to the changes in the industry based on a mixed methods study. The article argues that universities are trying to adapt their media and communication curricula to the converged media landscape by adding ‘new media’ units that try to address the changes in the industry. They have maintained specializations (Broadcast, print, film) but none has a general programme that equips students with skills to work across media. There is a divergent view between practice and academy on the extent. This is because their perspectives on MCS education and not what is on the ground. Therefore, there is need to bridge the gap between the two by constantly engaging in team teaching, workshops, internships and co-productions.

This article is based on a sequential exploratory mixed method research which carried in-depth interviews, content analysis, semi-structured participant observation, and administered a survey to 422 smallholder farmers in Machakos County in Kenya. The study was premised on combined concepts of information needs assessment (INAM), Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF), and ICT4D value chain analysis models to explore the effect of mobile phones on smallholder farmers’ livelihoods. The study found out that mobile phones are not used by smallholder farmers’ in the same way and therefore its effect on their livelihood is not uniform. On the one hand, mobile phone has negligible effect on subsistence smallholder farmers on-farm activities, and on the other hand, mobile phone usage has huge impact on market-oriented smallholder farming because it improves the relationships and interactions between the farmer and other rural livelihoods stakeholders.
