KAS Media Africa Award for Local Journalism 2023 for African Journalists Apply below.

When is Application Deadline?

30th November 2022

What is the Award?

Local journalism is what makes the media and their 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. What does the Russian
aggression against Ukraine mean for commodity prices on the local market? What are the implications of a regional trade agreement for our farmers?
KAS Media Africa, the Regional Media Programme for Sub-Sahara Africa of the German Konrad Adenauer Foundation, recognises the importance of local news.
