Abstract
A new location for journalism education and training is argued to be within the spheres of an Afro-humanist philosophy and culture. In this philosophy and culture, the concern for human welfare, dignity and values from within an Afro-centric paradigm are paramount. This exploration will hopefully lead to a new set of "basics" of what journalism education and training should be, and could lead to answers of how it should be taught.
