what we do

Our Mission

FrontFoot Media Initiative aims to re-invigorate media practice in and about Africa,
using Nigeria as base; and to promote reporting in a context that gives it meaning and
involves people in finding solutions to common problems.
In building the professional capacity of our journalists, emphasis will be on issues and causes that directly
affect the lives of the people, especially security of life and property, food security,
health, climate change, and education.

Key initiatives of this engagement:

Promotion of a Digital Publication

...centered predominantly on positive, uplifting news and stories.

Training & Re-training

...our journalists and key media stakeholders who have a part to play in holding public officers accountable.

Engaging with Critical Sectors

...such as politics, education, the media and so on, to achieve mutual objectives.

What We Are

FrontFoot Media Initiative is a non-profit mass media organization which seeks to promote enduring change in Africa through robust and uncompromising journalism. It is inspired by the determination of three experienced Nigerian journalists to make the profession more relevant in bringing about change in the material conditions of the people and the way they are governed. If journalism is to advance the Nigerian people, it must reject the old narratives of compromise, corruption, and cohabitation with the very forces that have perennially frustrated that objective.

Why We're Different

Contemporary journalism is mired in the old and familiar narrative of trouble, doom, and gloom based on the belief that
bad news sells. But a surfeit of bad news can result in a self-fulfilling prophecy, of a future almost denuded of hope.
The story of the human condition is far more complicated, and this will be reflected in our work. Without glossing over
the bad news, we will also reflect the light in the horizon and the rainbow in the sky.




Our Projects

Training Programmes

One of our take-off ventures is the Collaborative Media Engagement for Development Inclusivity and Accountability Project, a targeted training of journalists which we are undertaking under the auspices of the Wole Soyinka Center for Investigative Journalism (WSCIJ), and the sponsorship of the MacArthur Foundation.
