30th November 2022
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.
