OFF THE RECORD, TONIGHT THURSDAY, JUNE 7
Here is the words from the Foreign Correspondents Association in East Africa, FCAEA,
based in Nairobi, about journalism in Africa:
"The debate over journalism from Africa has heated up over the last few
weeks in the cybersphere, and we're taking it live this week at our
off the record briefing. Join your voice.
Our featured speaker for the night will be Howard W. French. He has
been an associate professor at Columbia University Graduate School of
Journalism since 2008. For many years, he was a senior writer for the
New York Times, where he spent most of his nearly 23-year career as a
foreign correspondent working and travelling to over 100 countries on
five continents including Africa.
We're also going to welcome representatives from non-governmental
organizations including Crisis Action as well as a few local
personalities in the journalism scene.
If you haven't been following the conversation here's some reading
material to catch you up!"
