We celebrate as infant CJN – Citizen Journalists’ Network bags National Humanitarian Award for ‘Humanitarian Innovation Of the Year’. We didn’t see this coming. Not so soon.
Also, Michael Edem Duke, the convener of the project was also hon
oured as the ‘Humanitarian Innovative Person of The Year’.
More than ever, our drive in CJN remains dogged to provide a platform where citizens can tell their own stories through their own lenses with their own voices without any form of commercial bias or prejudice. The resolve to use the power of Community Reporting in revealing the challenges of local communities and attract interventions for social good is an absolute code for us too. We must begin to see how media can provide practical solutions for society especially the local communities.
If just one thing, CJN is fired up to do more; it’s time to make this baby walk already.
This award is dedicated to every Nigerian Citizen who has done something for someone other than themselves. Nature will always be kind to you.
CJN is for all of us. You too can join others in solving practical problems
