Carleton University's journalism program has been sending some of its top students on media internships in Africa for 20 years. The program began in Rwanda, as part of a broader media development initiative in post-genocide Rwanda. Over the years more than 300 students have taken up internships across Africa. The latest iteration is a partnership with Farm Radio International.
Working with Farm Radio partners on the ground, the Carleton interns will identify and plan for podcast stories and undertake field travel to rural communities to record video, audio and photography, with a focus on audio. In the end, they will work on the editing and production of podcast episodes, as well as video and written stories. The Nature Answers podcast shares stories from rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa, where some of the most vulnerable people on earth are turning to nature for solutions to a changing climate.
In addition to their work on the Farm Radio podcast, Carleton interns on the ground this summer in Côte d'Ivoire, Uganda and Zambia will post blogs about their personal experiences.
