Jane Hauya
Jaysam Media Chief Editor
Malawi
I have more than twenty years of media experience, having worked both in the print and electronic media as a reporter and editor. I have also worked as a programmes producer as well as continuity announcer presenter for the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) in the Programmes Department. I also worked as a Lecturer at the Malawi Institute of Journalism, where I taught Broadcast Media, Integrated Marketing Communications, Reporting and Understanding Social issues, which include prevailing issues, causes and impact of Public Health issues, Education, Environment, HIV and AIDS, Population and Development, Food Security, Gender issues, their challenges and interventions, Globalisation and Human Rights. Over the years, I have gained the experience to write news stories and produce programmes both for radio and print. Besides, I have provided necessary information and advice pertaining the media to the National Assembly and the public while working as a Personal Assistant to the Speaker also doubling as a Liaison Officer. This supported the implementation of the National Assembly’s five-year strategic plan, which aimed at taking Parliament to people. Among my tasks included enhancing media relations through press releases and statements along with updating database for easy interaction with the media as well as media monitoring.I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Communication, an Advanced Diploma in Human Resource Management (UK), Certificate in Project Management from the Staff Development Institute (Malawi), a Professional Certificate in Marketing from the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM-UK). Currently, I am studying towards achieving a Professional Diploma in Marketing from the same board. I am, therefore, expecting people to talk to me about media entrepreneurship.
