Quality Mobile Reporting
Promoting Objective Reporting
The power of mobile reporting is particularly visible in situations of conflict and disaster. However, to ensure objectivity an to avoid sensational reporting, Voices of Africa Media Foundation promotes a continuous stream of reliable reports from trained reporters. It is imperative that reporters be familiar with the rudiments of journalism, mobile phone technology and ways to publish their reports in order to reach the right audience, such as media companies, NGOs or policy makers. That is why we believe in offering quality training to local youth with the ambition to work as a reporter.
