KAS Media Africa Local Journalism Award Call for Submissions 2025
KAS Media Africa invites you to make your submissions in English or French for consideration.
Local journalism is what makes the media and its audiences tick. It is the stories around us and about us, that speak to the situation in a country. Moreover, local news, if presented professionally, can be elevated to national level and sometimes, even make international headlines. Many local journalists struggle daily with breaking international news down to a local level.
