Why “Good News”?
The media often portrays Africa as a continent associated with war, famine, natural & humanitarian disasters. We don’t deny that Africa faces many of these natural and man-made challenges. But despite the enormous problems that exist, many African countries have made and continue to make progress. Unfortunately neither the international nor the domestic media seem to be interested to report that.
That’s why we have decided to take on the challenge and create this platform. We’ve decided to concentrate on “Good News” not only because it is not often reported, but it is our firm belief that the more positive news and stories that young Africans read, the more likely they will be inspired to work hard and be optimistic about their future.
