Background
The East African Communication Association (EACA) was established in 2011 by a group of Journalism, Media and Communication scholars working in East Africa. EACA brings together scholars, researchers and others involved in communication and media studies to share research on the media in the region. EACA membership is primarily drawn from universities in East Africa, but the association is open to collaboration with journalism/media scholars and practitioners from all over the world. It has had members from Germany, South Africa, West Africa, Norway and the United States among others. Since its inception, EACA has held annual conferences in Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda.
