Introduction:
Media Enterprise Lab, a new project powered by the Daily Trust Foundation, is designed to help media and journalism professionals build a new career out of low-hanging skills acquired on the job. With support from MacArthur Foundation, this project is a direct response to the challenges journalists encounter if they lose their formal employment. Media Enterprise Lab will deepen journalists’ understanding and skills in emerging areas of multi-media journalism and modern technology, and enhance their capacity to launch into self-employment, freelance digital media practice, and business start-ups, as a second career.
