# Mark Doyle (journalist)

Mark Doyle is a British journalist and former world affairs correspondent for BBC News. He is known in particular for his articles on topics related to Africa.

## Career

In 1980, Doyle volunteered as a student teacher at the British-Senegalese Institute in Dakar, Senegal. He later worked with human rights group Amnesty International and West Africa, a London-based magazine, before joining the BBC as a producer for the programme Focus on Africa in 1986. He continued reporting out of several African countries, becoming the East Africa correspondent from 1993 to 1994. He is known for his reporting done after he arrived in Kigali at the beginning of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Doyle was one of the few correspondents to slip into Kigali before the airport was closed and was the only journalist to report continuously throughout the genocide. His other work includes co-editor of coverage on the 1996 United States presidential election and training of Eastern European journalists in Moldova. He has been correspondent for BBC's domestic service as well as BBC World Service radio and TV and was appointed BBC's West Africa correspondent in 1997.
In 2004, Doyle received a United Nations Correspondents Association / UN Foundation UNCA Excellence in Journalism Award in the category "Reporting on Humanitarian and Developmental Affairs", with his producer Dan McMillan. The award was given for coverage of post-war Liberia under the UN peacekeeping mission. As of 2007, Doyle was writing an account of his experiences in Africa entitled Under the Same Sky: Good Guys and Bad Guys in the Failed States of Africa. In March 2015, Doyle left the BBC.
Doyle has stated that he is uncomfortable being described as an "Africa expert", noting in 1998:
   "The little I have learnt about this place makes me realise that I am very ignorant about it. It's a vast continent with huge differences between even neighbouring countries. Like anywhere, it's full of ordinary people just getting on with their personal, complicated lives. Anyone who claims to be an 'expert' on Africa – as if it were a homogeneous region where simple rules apply – is either arrogant or just plain silly."
# Michael Traugott Pfeiffer

Michael Traugott Pfeiffer (German: ) (November 5, 1771 - May 20, 1849) was a Swiss music pedagogue. Together with Hans Georg Nageli, they are considered pioneers of the Swiss choral movement at the beginning of the 19th century.

## Biography

Pfeiffer was born November 5, 1771, in Wülfershausen as the son of a cantor and a teacher.

### Solothurn

Pfeiffer attracted attention early on his life due to his musical talent. At the suggestion of the Franz Ludwig von Erthal, Pfeiffer started training to become his private secretary. Pfeiffer, however, decided to learn French in western Switzerland and first moved to Solothurn in 1792 to live with an aunt before settling in Sainte-Ursanne. The expansion of the ideas of the French Revolution to neighbouring Vaud, as well as an increased influx of French speakers to Solothurn as the siege of the French embassy to the Confederacy moved there, convinced him to find work in the city and use it as a base to learn foreign languages.
He then worked as a journalist in addition to teaching music and language.
After the death of his patron Erthal in 1795, Pfeiffer tried to gain a foothold in Morges and Geneva, but returned to Solothurn in 1800 where he worked for the Aargau cantonal administration for 3 years, reaching the title of secretary to the governor. During 1803, he attended a teaching course with Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi in Burgdorf and then he taught his methods at a private school.
He married Elisabetha Amiet from Solothurn. Their only child Josephine (born 1805) was married to the influential politician Augustin Keller.
During 1805, with the help of town school teacher Hieronymus Halder (with whom he completed his training in Burgdorf) Pfeiffer came to Lenzburg and founded a singing society and with the support of the local dean Johann Hünerwadel, a boarding school. Starting from 1808, he starter teaching advance students that belonged to German and Latin schools. He also led 2 summer courses where he taught and trained young teachers.
Due to the influence and tradition he built in Lenzburg, he was awarded a gold medal by the city in 1809.

### His Relationship with Nägeli

Pfeiffer wrote down some compositions that belonged to his Zurich colleague Hans Georg Nageli. Together, Pfeiffer and Nägeli published a joint work in 1810 titled "Voice Education According to Pestalozzi Principles" as well as other follow-up works. In 1816 Pfeiffer received the Swiss citizenship.

### Retirement and Death

In 1846 his teacher training college took him to a secularized Wettingen monastery, where he retired and spent the rest of his life. He died on May 20, 1849.
