For months, members of WABJ - Washington Association of Black Journalists have worked with the Black & Missing Foundation to create a first-of-its-kind media guide to help newsrooms properly cover missing Black people We will be handing out these notebooks at the #NABJ25 convention, which has a QR code that links to it:
OUT NOW from the The Howard Center for Investigative Journalism: Millions of tons of hazardous materials travel along U.S. rail lines each year. What risk do these #trains pose to communities? Are they prepared to respond when one derails? 🧵Here's what a new investigation reveals: cnsmaryland.org/2025/08/06/man…
If you were a passenger on Comfort Emmanson's Ibom Air flight from Uyo to Lagos, and you're willing to share what transpired on the plane and with the air hostess (outside the video footages in circulation), one of my colleagues at Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) is interested in speaking with you.
Why are railroads allowed to inspect their own operations? Why don’t communities know more about the cargo traveling through their neighborhoods? The Howard Centers for Investigative Journalism at Merrill College @ Maryland and Cronkite School dig into these questions: cnsmaryland.org/off-the-rails/
From the very little I know, the point of journalism is to highlight societal problems. Dear Premium Times what is the problem here? You want women to stop going to the gym?
Dear Premium Times what has this gym goer done wrong by going to the gym to simply work out? Do you know that men wear tights at the gym too? Are you pushing a sexist narrative with this story? Have women ever complained about men with big dicks distracting them at the gym?
“Onyeka Nnaji leaves for the gum with only one intention: to exercise his body.” But the women at his gym have other intentions?? Dear Premium Times What would you rather women wear to the gym?
For Center for Collaborative Investigative Journalism, I examined how US aid cuts under Trump disrupted access to lifesaving medicines for pregnant women in Nigeria, particularly those with HIV. Here’s a link to the report.👇🏾
Thank you so much Media Foundation for West Africa for this big honour! My gratitude is bottomless. And thanks to HumAngle_ and Institute for War & Peace Reporting, without whom the report would not have come to light, especially in the form that it did. 💙
