AFRICAphonie Brings Arts and Culture Reporting to Light

By Scholar Maloke (The Star newspaper, Cameroon, March 28th 2011)

Arts and culture in Cameroon, has never been given the place it deserves.  Though some journalists endeavour to write articles about arts and culture or cover cultural events, the articles are hardly given spotlights and most at times are replaced with other news items.
 

In a bid to bring arts and culture reporting which is a very viable industry into limelight, the Director of a Pan-African non-governmental organisation known as AFRICAphonie, Mwalimu George Ngwane, with support from the Commonwealth Foundation, organised a three day workshop in Buea on Arts and Culture Journalism in Cameroon.
