Watching the Watchdogs

The tool kit “Watching the Watchdogs,À has been developed to guide the media literacy course. It draws from research and training material developed over a number of years on gender and the Southern African media.

The kit consists of a binder with ten modules, core exercises and notes. The modules allow for maximum participation and creativity on the part of learners, as well as adaptation to local circumstances. The binder format allows participants at whatever level or in whichever location to add to the basic texts their own collection of material based on the numerous exercises and assignments. The toolkit can also be adapted to suit the needs of different target groups by adding local examples.

It also takes into account the Outcomes Based approach to Education, (OBE).
