What the newsroom Knows: Managing Knowledge within African Newspapers

This research report reflects studies conducted to assess and evaluate policy factors affecting the usage of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the creation and management of knowledge and other informational assets in privately owned newspapers in eight Southern and East African countries. The findings of the studies constitute useful baseline information that will guide Highway Africa, in collaboration with the New Media Lab, in planning the shape and introduction of an open source content management system (CMS) that Rhodes University’s School of Journalism and Media Studies is currently developing.
