Media Practitioners in Cameroon Learn Techniques On Reporting Conservation

By Imma Mkong

Community media practitioners in Cameroon have taken up the responsibility of educating the public on conservation issues through specialised programs produced in a language more familiar to them; Pidgin English.
The over 30 journalists from media organs in the Western Highlands Region of the country took the commitment recently in Buea, Southwest Region, after a three-day capacity building workshop on conservation coverage, organised by a Cameroonian based development organization; AFRICAphonie, in partnership with the Earth Journalism Network (EJN).
