Henley wants to get journos out of the newsroom and into the classroom

The Henley Business School Africa is offering the Sol Plaatje scholarship to journalists who are interested in pursuing a postgraduate diploma in management practice and a master's degree in business administration (MBA). The scholarship is open to investigative journalists and media practitioners with the aim of getting them to step out of the newsroom and into the classroom.

Sol Plaatje was a journalist known for his searing polemic, a Native Life in South Africa, which chronicled the depredations wrought by the Native Land Act of 1913. He was an activist - the first secretary general of the forerunner of today's ANC - but he was also a newspaper editor and publisher; he founded three newspapers.

If you are interested in finding out how to apply to be considered for the Sol Plaatje media scholarship, contact Vivien Spong [email protected] by 24 May 2019 to apply.
