Social change action with informed and engaged societies
Social Change
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

This public discussion at Cardiff University, United Kingdom (UK), on Friday January 30 2015 from 13:00 to 17:00 (GMT) marks the launch of two new Masters programmes at the Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies (JOMEC): an MA in Digital Media and Society and an MSc in Computational Journalism.

The afternoon event will gather practitioners and experts to discuss how digital technologies are transforming society, looking at practices in journalism, citizen engagement, and issues concerning restrictions and rights in a digital environment. Keynote speakers include Alan Rusbridger (Editor, The Guardian) and Jillian C. York (Director, Electronic Frontier Foundation). Next, a session on data, coding, and journalism will feature Louisa Compton (Editor, BBC Newsbeat), Matt McAlister (Director of Digital Strategy, The Guardian), and Joanna Geary (Head of UK News Partnerships, Twitter). Speakers in the final session, which will explore civil society, activism, and digital rights, include Andy Channelle (Web Manager, Red Cross), Katherine Sladden (Campaigns Director, Change.org), and Jim Killock (Executive Director, Open Rights Group).

The event is free and open to all, but registration is required. Click here to register.
