The Africa Reporting Project is an initiative of the Graduate School of Journalism at UC Berkeley. Funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the project is a year-long initiative that includes two courses to educate the reporters about global food issues, agriculture, and agricultural history in Africa. A combination of general overviews and detailed case studies, each course is designed to equip reporters with the knowledge they’ll need in their travels to sub-Saharan Africa. Along with the instruction of Martha Saavedra (Africa Studies), Neil Henry (Graduate School of Journalism), David Tuller and Cassandra Herrman, the class offers presentations by experts in agriculture.
