About us

Journalism.co.za, or jocoza, is run by the Journalism Programme of the University of the Witwatersrand.  It is run by staff and students, though many of the contributions come from other journalists and correspondents.

The site is intended both as a resource for working journalists in Southern Africa and a teaching tool for the university programme.  It offers a range of news, views and information, and is updated daily. It also allows media companies to find new talent, to promote services, award programmes, training or events in a multitude of ways.
