Lagos, April 14, 2024 – Simon Kolawole, the Publisher of the Cable News online, will speak on the dilemma between journalism and activism at the sixth edition of the annual University of Lagos Mass Communication Alumini Association (UMCAA) Distinguished Lecture Series (DLS).
The lecture will hold at the Tayo Aderinokun Hall of the campus on April 18, 2024 from 10am.
The DLS, which is the main annual event of UMCAA has become a platform for experts to give their opinion on the burning issues in the country.
This year’s edition is holding during the Homecoming festival of graduates of the department noted as the leading mass communication department in west Africa will witness the return of great communication experts who graduated from the department and have become noted for communication exploits across the world.
The three-day celebration will celebrate the graduates returning to collectively give back to their alma mater.
Under their Town meets Gown projects, they will be hosting series of Colloquial to celebrate the return and mingle with the students presently at the department.
Speaking on the topic for this year, Adewale Williams, the President of UMCAA, said: “As journalists, many of us face the challenge of understanding when we are practicing journalism or when we become activists.
“The general populace too ends up really understanding the point. It has become a major dilemma that has to be addressed.
“And the best person to do justice to this burning issue is no other than a renowned communicator with all the experience in the business.” (GBN)
