New life for local journalism
That a story from the village can be of national or even international interest was one of their findings. As was the difficulty for editors to try and break international news down to the living circumstances of the local media consumer. It was understood that, as former KAS Chairman Bernhard Vogel once mentioned: “whoever wants to find his way round the world needs to know what happens at home.”
Clearly the importance of local news has to be underlined by an improvement in its quality as well as by media owners who discover the need to incorporate more local media users into the fold. Said Motunrayo Alaka of the Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism in Lagos: “Tell the story nuanced and sincerely – apply the highest standards.”
