Let's start with typewriters. Frank Lloyd Wright, Adi Ada Journalism is no longer a noble profession in Nigeria. In fact Nigerian journalists are among the most corrupt and vulnerable to manipulations of the highest bidder. A. Mohammed Bashir, Nigeria Most African journalists are extremely brave and are paving a way for democracy in the continent. The conflicts we are seeing are actually positive, showing that communities want greater freedoms and a free press.
Today there are more independent newspapers and reporters.
Africa should build on that. I very much appreciate the existence of a free press and journalists who actually publish balanced reports regarding the good and ills of their society. However, some journalists by being guided either by their political alignments or by virtue of working for a government paper create more confusion and bias in society, instead of enlightening it. Therefore, I call upon all journalists in Africa, particularly in Ethiopia to abide by the ethics of their profession regardless of their support for one political group or another. What you analyse and critically report today may earn you respect tomorrow.
