Challenges and Opportunities: How Journalists Report on Africa's Climate Crisis

Africa Within Podcast Season 1 Episode 10

In this episode, we sit down with two inspiring Kenyan journalists to explore the challenges and opportunities that African journalists face when reporting on climate change.

Malemba Mkongo is a multi-award-winning journalist based in Kenya, driven by her mantra to make a difference in the world through her writing. Her reporting focuses on human rights, gender, and social justice, covering issues across East and South Africa.

Dennis Aseto is a news anchor for KTN NEWS and KTN HOME , and he also delivers news for the Standard Group's SPICE FM and VYBEZ RADIO. He has been covering climate issues for several years.

This conversation highlights the challenges of navigating limited resources and emphasizes the importance of amplifying local climate stories, showcasing the power and potential of African media in the fight against climate change.

We want to extend our special thanks to the African Women's Development and Communication Network (FEMNET) for the opportunity to participate in the Journalist Training on Gender-Responsive Reporting on Climate Justice, which took place in Dar es Salaam. This conversation is a result of that training.

A special thanks to Sethekele Ncube for producing this episode.
