Message from Fred Swaniker, Founder of the African Leadership Group

How can Africa’s young journalists tell Africa’s story better and why should they lead this change? As young Africans continue to risk their lives crossing to Europe in search of a better imagined future how can journalists convey the possibilities that exist within the continent? How can they offer the best obtainable version of the truth; showing Africa neither as a hopeless continent but also not falling for a simplistic Africa Rising narrative?
