NLNG equips journalists with knowledge of digital communication

deep faith in the enormous potential of its stakeholders.

Recognising the crucial role journalists play in influencing narratives and public opinion, NLNG intended to empower them by giving them the knowledge and abilities to alter their own tales and, as a result, the stories of the country. The Journalism Clinic, directed by the acclaimed Taiwo Obe, and well-known journalist Dan Mason worked with NLNG to conduct this training. Participants were guided through the complexities of digital communication and social media by these experts as they offered their wealth of knowledge and experience.

After the inaugural #NLNGChangeYourStory workshop, which took place in 2015, there was a pause. Since the yearly programme restarted in 2021, over 70 journalists have received training, bolstering their social media and digital communication skills.

The #NLNGChangeYourStory workshop unquestionably made a difference in the empowerment of journalists by giving them the tools they need to succeed in the rapidly changing digital environment. The nation and its stakeholders continue to thrive and prosper as a result of NLNG’s unwavering commitment to capacity building.
