ABSTRACT

I don’t know if you realize but before I did the mojo course I couldn’t hold a complete conversation.

—Robert French in Cherbourg Mojo Out Loud (Burum 2013)

This chapter investigates the introduction of mojo across two other important spheres of communication: education and media. This was done to test the workshop training methodologies and training manuals across multiple spheres and to

• Validate mojo and user-generated stories (UGS) as more than an alternative community-based toolkit and form;

• Investigate the accessibility (level and pitch) and sustainability of mojo within the education system; and

• Assess the relevance of mojo skills to helping print journalists across the digital divide. A positive outcome would further validate the training package as being an effective tool for creating alternative journalism.
