PwC Media Capability Workshop 2016

PwC Nigeria has again hosted its annual Capability Enhancement Workshop for journalists.
The one day workshop which held in Lagos, targets journalists across both traditional and new media platforms. It features insightful presentations on various topics by experts, aimed at building the capacity of journalists and enhancing their ability to execute their duties professionally while also better positioning themselves to take advantage of future opportunities.
The annual workshop which is now in its third year, is an important component of PwC’s Corporate Responsibility strategy. It was instituted in recognition of the very important role of the media in society and in particular, the role that the media in Nigeria has and continues to play in informing and educating the public.
It is the firm’s strong belief that for the Nigerian people to enjoy good governance, the media must perform its role optimally and professionally and this is reflected in the quality of reporting, in the capacity of individual journalists to carry out research and investigations, in the independence of editorial judgments, and in their ability to use technology as an enabler.
This year, the workshop has been deepened and its scope expanded with an increase in the number of participating journalists especially from the online and new media channels whose impact in the way news is reported in Nigeria, has been quite transformational.
