Abuja: The Campus Technology Life Initiative (CTLI) has announced a partnership with the Campus Journalism Awards and Dialogue (CJA) to promote digital journalism and technology engagement among students. The partnership aims to encourage innovation, technology integration, and digital awareness in campus journalism across Nigeria and beyond.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, CTLI National Coordinator, Amb. Kalu Chijioke Jnr, stated that the collaboration would help shape modern journalistic practice through technology and awareness. He emphasized that the role of technology in journalism could not be overemphasized, and the partnership is expected to raise digital journalism consciousness and foster creativity among young reporters.
Chijioke further mentioned that CTLI believes innovation and resourcefulness can build a digital framework that promotes dialogue among young people globally. The collaboration seeks to support student journalists in developing digital and storytelling skills and create opportunities to explore the intersection of technology and journalism.
The initiative also aims to build a network of tech-savvy journalists who can drive social change. As part of the partnership, CJA invited CTLI to its Early Morning Workshop for campus journalists from various institutions. CTLI will also attend the Grand Award Ceremony scheduled for the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, as a special guest.
The partnership includes joint event promotions, expert contributions from CTLI representatives, and networking opportunities for students, journalists, and technology professionals. Both organisations share a vision to empower young storytellers and innovators who will use technology to amplify authentic voices and inspire positive change.
