Word of Pros

“Word of Pros” is a space dedicated to journalists, editors, press directors and media partners in the African Great Lakes region, to share their daily battles to promote professional journalism despite a very hostile political, security and even financial environment. The column, which is intended to be monthly, looks back at the often untold or little-known realities of journalism in a region ravaged by repeated armed conflicts, where journalists are often prime targets for either governments, rebel groups, or both.
