Students charged on new trends in media practice

[MrVan]

LAGOS – Students of the Mass communication Department of Caleb University, Imota, Lagos, have been drawn into a new consciousness of what the global best practices of modern media entail in today's world.

The guest speaker, Mr. Nosike Agokei, Group Managing Director, MTI Plc, in a lecture, entitled:  "Telecommunications and the New Media" exhorted the students to belt up and rise to the challenges in the mass communication industry, in the wake of rapidly changing technology in telecommunications.

Agokie, a former group managing director of John Holt Plc, said in view of the emerging trends in the practice of journalism, especially in the growing new media, practitioners, he emphasised, must be at home with the rudiments of media practice in the era of new technologies, which required expertise in the profession as well as in the use of the new media technologies.
