Study and information programme
Details
KAS Media Africa supports local journalism as a key element in information distribution for communities across the globe. Local newsrooms are the conduit by which a villager in far flung areas can be connected to the world at large. This is how a grandmother in Mthatha, South Africa, learns about the war in Ukraine and how it affects her. It is also how a young man in Ikasi, DRC, understands what the Covid-109 virus is and how to protect himself and family from its spread. Vital local news is created in regular newsrooms and play an important role in the ecosystem that is the global news cycle.
By acknowldging these four winners, KAS Media Africa vicariously acknowldges all the local newsrooms keeping society informed, protected and connected, one story at a time.
