Ohio University seeks internships with local media

Oct 16, 2012 News

Ohio University is seeking to further enhance its partnership with the University of Guyana (UG) through capacity building of lecturers and students.
A four-man delegation headed by Dr. Scott Tittsworth, Dean of Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University, is in Guyana to establish a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two universities.
Dr Tittsworth is also a former CNN correspondent.
According to UG’s Director of the Centre of Communication Studies, Carolyn Walcott, this renewed partnership could see lecturers benefitting from scholarships to study abroad. In addition, there should be an injection of resources to purchase laboratory equipment.
She said that UG’s Centre of Communication Studies benefitted from a previous MoU with the University that recently ended. Walcott was one of the privileged students to have pursued her Masters in Communication through the Ohio University.
While the Ohio University is helping to develop Guyana’s highest tertiary learning institution it is reaching out to local media houses to provide internships for its final year students.
Director, Institute for International Journalism, Dr. Yusuf Kalyango, is hoping that students from the Ohio University will be able to be interns at media houses in Guyana.
Both state-owned and privately-owned media houses are being targeted so that students will have an appreciation of practicing journalism in a developing country. The Ohio University has done similar stints in countries across the globe, including Zambia.
