KAS Media Africa Local Journalism Award Call for Submissions 2024

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. How does a coup d’état in Mali affect its neighbouring countries? What does climate change mean for the subsistence farmer in Zimbabwe?

The regional event with participants from six African countries was organised and conducted in close cooperation with KAS Namibia under the direction of Country Representative, Holger Haibach.

Neue Techniken, harte Fakten und regionaler Austausch

„Power Reporting“ – Mehr als 270 Teilnehmer bei Afrikas führender Konferenz auf dem Feld des Investiga

Nachdenklich blickt Ray Hartley vom Rednerpult in das sehr gut besuchte Auditorium. Ein Simultandolmetscher übersetzt die Frage eines französischsprachigen Journalisten aus dem Senegal ins Englische: Ob Hartley in dem „Protection of Information“-Gesetz, das die südafrikanische Regierungspartei African National Congress (ANC) verabschieden will, eine Bedrohung für die freie Presselandschaft sehe? Der Redakteur der südafrikanischen Sunday Times antwortet mit einem „Jein“. Seiner Meinung nach bedroht die sich einschleichende Selbstzensur die Branche derzeit mehr als die aktuelle Gesetzgebung.

"King Radio" and the future

International Conference: The "Joburg Radio Days 2011"

One sentence concisely set the tone: „Radio is still king among the media in Africa,” observed the British expert Mary Myers, who has successfully conducted several projects on the continent. As evidence she cited the significant growth rate in the field of so-called “community radios”. But, what does the future hold for the “king”? How can radio continue to contribute to the societal discourse and therefore to democratisation? These and similar questions were addressed by top-class international experts at the Joburg Radio Days 2011 held at Wits University in Johannesburg.
