MORE ABOUT DEVREPORTERS
Development Reporters (DevReporters) is a network of media practitioners initiated in 2015 and dedicated to the promotion of development information grounded in any development theme, e.g., Devolution, Gender, health, Climate change, food Security, Governance, Elections, Accountability, Economy, etc., with key focus on their impacts on Kenyans, especially grassroots communities in the rural and urban areas.
We have partnered with Development Through Media (DTM) to conduct a series of “learning by doing” capacity building sessions, and are currently updating our Reporters’ listing for an upcoming training for young journalists based in the North and North-Eastern Counties, on multi-media (web & print articles and short radio features) content production. Thereafter, content production assignments will be issued on a rolling basis.
