With contributors from almost 40 African countries, our content has been delivered and continues to be delivered for free to over 100 media outlets around Africa.
Their mission is to shift the negative narrative about Africa one story at a time, across genres, all hinged on: Respect for truth and the public’s right to information are fundamental principles of journalism. Journalists describe society to itself. Accountability engenders trust. Without trust, journalists do not fulfil their public responsibilities.
