Abstract

A major feature of any progress-prone human setting is the capacity to reflect on its acts. Reflection entails retrospectively evaluating one's actions with the intent to encourage what works and halt what does not. This paper reflects on vital issues in journalism and mass communication training in Nigeria by highlighting and discussing these issues from the standpoints of where we are and where we could be. Using the Reflective Practice theory as a framework, the author examines issues around such variables as admission processes, quality of faculty, curricula, programme accreditation, internship and training infrastructure. The paper identifies the absence of synergy between journalism academia and the industry as a major gap in the total process of journalism education in Nigeria. The paper is strewn with relevant recommendations that could bring the Nigerian journalism and Mass communication training to the front row and thus enable it to compete effectively with journalism training institutions in advanced climes.
