Abstract Paper presented at the 2009 Conference of African Journalism Educators (CAJE)and published in the Forum for African Media Educators (FAME) section of journalism.co.za - In the Department Media Technology experiential learning has always been of the utmost importance. Even though Experiential Learning is a credit-bearing component in the undergraduate Journalism and Communication Technology Programme, it was felt that a Campus media outlet would ensure that such practice-oriented training would be available throughout the Programme. The Campus Media outlet in essence became the in-house training facility for trainee journalists prior to entering the journalism profession. In September 2004 - just prior to the National and Presidential Elections in Namibia - the Echoes News Agency was piloted.
