Critical Resource (Centre) – Adaobi N. Ezeokoli

The Journalism Clinic is a critical resource for the Nigerian content creator. Just one training course and you will be convinced. The trainers are not only knowledgeable about cutting-edge journalism, they are also passionate about creating content that makes a real impact. Fish where the fish are. Think outside the box. Today, when I see some fancy bar chart of data map or video interview, I remember that, thanks to the work of The Journalism Clinic, I have the tools, the knowledge, and the expertise, to create similar content.

Hello, World – Victor Ogunyinka

The Journalism Clinic remains one of my high points of 2015. Would never forget the “I invited you here today to provoke your thought” weekend. Very soon, the whole world would pay attention to happenings in #JournalismClinic.

It’s amazing that people would give their time and resources to guiding others through a career path as true journalism. It goes to show a lot. Stories never run dry. It’s people to share those stories that count. Thank you to The Journalism Clinic to showing us new ways to sharing true stories.

One-Stop Shop – Blessing Olisa-Akaeze

The Journalism Clinic is a one-stop shop for journalistic wellness.

It gave me an opportunity to meet with brilliant minds and offered a platform for me to see things from a creative perspective.

TJC has doctors that keep you on your toes while guiding you through healing and therapy. And when you take baby steps, the ovation is loud and proud, making you only want to strengthen those steps and run.

If at any point you suffer a journalistic discomfort, The Journalism Clinic will diagnose the problem, treat it and fix you. You’ll wind up healthier than you ever were.

I am a testimony.

#AirtelChangeYourStory!

Location: Lagos, Nigeria.

Sponsor: Airtel Networks Limited Nigeria

The epic growth of smart phones and social media has turned news upside-down. To stay ahead, journalists need to create compelling stories which would not only be shared on social but also easily accessible on mobile devices.

“It is our delight to support journalists in Nigeria to perform optimally in this mobile age. Media audiences will also get better engaged while media owners should expect increased traffic to their platforms.”

-Segun Ogunsanya, Managing Director, Airtel Networks Limited, Nigeria
