I have just read and digested your collaboration with the IIJ and the conference on New Media. I will like to explore possibilities of collaborating with you on the idea of Pan-African Reporters’ Initiative that will facilitate the capacity of Reporters on the continent to move around in pursuit of stories about the continent. I think African media need to start telling their own stories to Africans in their own way.
