Africa No Filter Thomson Foundation Journalism Program 2022

The course aims to disrupt stereotypical news and storytelling about Africa by helping journalists develop a fresh reporting style beyond framing Africa through conflict, disease, poverty, corruption and poor leadership.

The course is designed to boost participants with in-demand skills like mobile journalism, visual and multiplatform storytelling. It offers techniques for finding missing voices in African stories, tips and tools for sourcing, verifying information, and structuring stories beyond stereotypes - valuable resources for journalists who want to monetise global conversations about shifting narratives, ethical storytelling, and diversity of voices and ideas in African news.
