Call for applications for bursary in Media Management

In support of developing skills within the print media industry, the Newspaper Association of South Africa (NASA) has established an annual NASA President's Bursary for a Post Graduate Diploma in Media Management (PDMM) at Rhodes University in Grahamstown.

The Post Graduate Diploma in Media Management, presented by the Sol Plaatje's Media Leadership Institute at Rhodes, will equip a student to succeed in all areas of managing the business operations of a print media enterprise.

The full-time one-year course will develop the student's skills in: leadership; media economics and financial planning; markets and audiences; human resources management; programming; advertising; circulation and distribution; and media law and policy.

The course will commence on 14 February and will end on 1 December 2005. The course caters primarily for individuals who do not have much or any management experience, but aspire to become managers in the near future.
