40 percent of african countries, independent media observe is classify the situation of press freedom of difficult. So today were focusing on freedom of expression and how young people are fighting for their voices to be hired. I want you kamara. Well come, coming up. We may journalists from uganda, can yeah, and gotten us will tell us about the challenges they face to bring even in or sprint debate in the c a c, w building need it for us. We tackle the generalising buses. Us if is into the big and we wrap up and leaving story is on the is cultural, jammed list with a nature and history. Now freedom of speech may sound like a dry topic, but its anything, but especially for the youth, we are the driving force behind change after all. So lets take this show off with a bit of a twist. Allow me to introduce you to rap as a dog. Oh and i mean we have flying from nairobi. They are using the musical talents to call up the dangers to the press over to you fellows rough. Youre right to free. Dont. A team is important. See de leon and then to go to add a port in this place because that become a bell press. Yeah, thats the absolute good story on phones. Just read them is juggle left on to the freeze that operation. Reading that showed why fi to the address they dont show needs bought out of 10 Different Countries and studies fucked. 40 out of the 3 government control, the page mediocrity says check whats on the other. The can you tell me this information propaganda reading, you know, communities in this environment. Impunity range of the chevy, tightest. I get the numbers to get the report the, the trimming to bought the duplex. Dont let me put that in booking the bustle. So he read just totally becoming the no news zone in on the filled him 2nd dont with the new sentence, the getting present to submit the most sensitive versus the guys info and networking. In some countries we can apply the crime to amended meals, dream, you know, like the gun, the looking for thing. This is the input team and they do sharing with nice one guys. Now aaliyah, we mentioned that press freedom in almost 40 percent of african countries is going to be that difficult. But did you know that in 2022 is that number was 33 percent. That means the situation on the continent is deteriorating rapidly. So its no surprise the more journalist a watching on the cover, including i must remove on this. The good may, on investigative journalist, has exposed dozens of corruption stories in his country. His multiple name, shame, and jail. His work has divided people some think that it goes to fall while others think its necessary to hold those in power to account. Our very own miko ot caught up with him recently to find out more about the width of his work. And why he does what he does. There are lots of young people who are interested in becoming you like you, i mean, exposing corruption in the countries, but they are of use in the a lot of challenges. Talk to them about some of the risk. Thats Investigative Journalism on the come by Investigative Journalism faces. Nobody should think that coming into gen ed is a, is a bed of roses. It is not going to be attacked. You are going to be suit in the football. Its kind of, i was sued 6 the 6 things. But heres a take. If you stick to had color evidence, no my pub this, you know my past the number of people was you to well, its time its all up to making sure that you check your security very well. You dont become take, i have the in just talking and mation and things that you do. You ensure that you follow those simple techniques that i come explain in this interview, but it is difficult. My day is a way of surviving. And i think that after time use has that capacity to survive this dont. In any case, if we dont solve our problems, weve been to solve i, we expect to examine geminus to flight into our country to help us solve it. Such a little across the continental, they have been several journalist 12 in affected who have been killed. Would you still encourage the young people to get into this phase where people are being killed and you have to hide your face . Cost monthly because people are coming out to you. Certainly see, we cannot take the freedom of that price for rent. And the fact that you have your freedoms that so mean that you should go to sleep. That is what we ought to be reminded of as dan most you see when we become complacent and we think that that freedom we enjoy it was delivered to us on this. So my plat that thats when we begin to soften. How do we riley so so that when i brad, i send that tech because if you dont, childs to be tomorrow is coming to you. They will bluish and dental is Safety International center. What is that all about . Well, what sick, whats the blue isnt generally safety intuition. It is in that house in africa and alice, who in the face of trouble have no way to boot is a view of the role i play on that one to me. Many jim alice will freeze persecution. Im the 1st point of the quote, and that will be hosting them for the past 10 years now. So this time i decided i want to official license so that i can have it put me in a shelter where these people will come and take some respite when be under attack. And you said you also have the box on the projects on the original, on a project in come a room where you are picking up on the story that was covered by a general list, was made it you get your symbol on that. And the arizona project is uh, cool leak at matching this. Now my to me is a colleague. Delivery, i seen the ad talking, thats how i talked to him. We went up one morning, he was showed that lucian, come up that jen knowledge should know that the fact that youre taking down one gen at least, thats no mean that were sitting down. Now weve monday to come together. Weve monday to look for resources so that if you killed anybody that the way we will put ourselves together, i lead that dalazana arizona project. And i can tell you is very effective. And i bought from mine that i set up right at the gym at least i pro, is that well . Well, so keen in helping exposing that bad deeds of people who killed you on my list. Now the press Freedom Situation might seem disheartening, but some progress has been made. And youve gone to the Constitutional Court struck down a provision of the computer nice is up. That was seen as a mutation of freedom of speech to but lets talk about how journalists themselves view the state of press freedom in what kind of environment do they work. I will correspondents in uganda, kenya, and gonna be of us via perspective. The new gun and sometimes the line between generalization and activities and can be blogs. For instance, many mediocre nights visions are owned by politicians with an agenda. Now these employee, as ive said, is to have it feed inflates on the reporting by the journalist they hire. Sometimes in criticized politicians in state that youve done, at least for being present jordans have any, has previously described private Media Outlets enemies but also some colleagues in the media proficient. How will flip joined touches on 4 digits today. Some of the most prominent politicians, both in the government and the opposition, such a different demo with several newspapers in over a 150. 00 tavia and regular channels has a pretty Diverse Media landscape. And well, this hosting politics and media on a ship press here is still relatively free and able to criticize authority. One same was kind of an example of an act of a certain list. Is that once a photographer who turned to activism, author the experience of reporting on kenya, post election by those who would let them know and for driving, takes all the way to parliament and putting the words antiques for overindulging members of parliament. And so well put aside from the powers that be, may not always be easy and tenure, low cost, but many turn. Lets take on corruption by politicians and political free. So its a major problem in gonna, its affects the ordinary pressing life or trouble sauce. Good, good quality house, good quality education and mini mall now, reporting above these issue father, due to of jen, i live and thats what is the 4th grade and then i list, im not really a one now or for the la on in this car. Yeah. For about 2 decades, a goal for guessing concrete evidence to prosecute such a fish out meant he has to go on that kind of. Um, he didnt come in at least in dream that but not to corruption actively, as what he said by government, with some public official letterhead, anatomy, all the space. And if it so now known gradstaff. Unless hasnt become just a multi media documentary, myka box now, and leaving activities for the ordinary people look up so for sundays, and protecting them from the girls and abuse this. And its always interesting to hear those insights from the ground. Now traditional journalism is hyper focused on the notion of objectivity, but some practitioners argue that in the face of injustice, that can be no objectivity. So they open, they choose to be activists within the media sphere. You know a street debate. If kamani, endo pano tackle this scene line between journalism and activism and its costing it really undermines, press integrity, the hello and welcome back to the 77 percent 3 debate this week. We are leaving africa, nor on the streets. Were home to the global medial for im one of the leading medium forums globally. Its mostly correct. For those of you who live in africa, the media space is usually either not 3 or independent. And for that reason, sometimes list a forced to do a work that they did not sign up for active exams. So today, but we ask, where is that line if there is one in africa between gender and activism . And today i have a gorgeous condo here with me, look at those applicant, kind of on the left stuff with you. What is activism . Gen amazon puts you in that speech sway you get into activism. Not because you want and but you find yourself in that speaks. So whats the difference . I that kind of, gen, i live them. I do is naming shaming and gaming. And then when its because i managed to get people into jill and that continental people, what, what do you need to do as a result of that work . I do. So you can call me, i must have missed. But i do my jan on this and it feels into activism. How do you define yourself . So do you see yourself more as an activist or as a junior . I see myself as im active is because of the end product that i get. Okay. You wanna do you find yourself in this situation as well, where youre, what sort of to places you in situations that you didnt necessarily sign up for you . Yes, i do. And i absolutely refuse that tag activist. I am shy away from each i run away from me. Why . Because theres different types of activities and i think you feel no play the type of activity. So you all you do. Thats when you do get into trouble. You. Uh, you got an active, its based on your personal conviction. All your pronounced that not tvs by your job, all by the governments of the day whos upset, thats what youre doing. People can also be activities because of the attention on the call on me, and they have to perform a new ways. Activism as jo nineties and then find out i think people come deactivate some of the activities also of greed because its of a read yes, correct. I said, so i said what i said, okay, unless you have something to add to that and i totally disagree with the culture. I think that shes not looking at the dean just we fees. Theres no point in doing that piece of janet. Somebody gets them up and what came up on the same street with that criminal. I see, i would take you to deal. I testify, i should have called everything. We dont become active. Its because we love a demo, somebodys not a tea party is a serious business. I do have your rebuttal. I have to say, i do cut activism from the perspective of the dont toby drill. 90 is what kills for being a drug. And so i know what i mean, my life, i dont want fuel 15 years ago for being a drone on these. He wasnt even on investigative joe 90, so you cant even get killed for when they call them. Its a part of the yeah, well, how can i know female . Im always what you my boss. Nobody knows i was coming to button for example. I just show up when i pull stuff down social media. Well, id say these to say when you mix these activities in the problem is the home we see it means its no longer. Im not, im not serious. I do not identify as one i will never identify as well. Can you tell me why . I mean, this is something that is very deeply rooted if youd like, like sort of like the, just in the, via the wrong. So, i will say that you kind of do johnnys investors, impactful. Going by the book. I need to still in fact from im an example of that. When i did quote, dean, people were very happy with being changed. But guess what . That was. So people that came to see i was paid by a Foreign Government because i, my sons name is jeremiah. You will always be called an activities which are the way you do your journalism. And 9 way spend they dont. Oh yes, because if i was doing the full day and for example, my name would be between visibility breelands b, so forth, but were gonna take away if somebody doesnt go to do it, does it take away from the work that she did . It doesnt take a weird by the people want to spend too much, but yeah, so im not really not bother why, but im saying, my brother, you know, im talking about the work that made my mother that have to be made. My brother perhaps if you with the front of me, i have a 6 im, im going to say change came and i do, i hardly print those. Ive been changed parks when opened offices, where i opened into port, quote, dean, lead jobs for 4 months with to go home to be very and not that that was not change. Then my name is not bruno. So id like to hear from you all based on the what weve heard here today. Do you still believe that these, that line between journalism and activism, or have you shifted a little bit . There is a line i maintain that there is a line. And for me, whats would be important is that transpired and see that we know which side youre on. If youre a journalist and you, once youre in an activity region, i list whichever hot youre putting on, thats whats about time. That is the key to your audience. So its whoever youre listening to you because of the media pushing it or the done on. If you have so much power, theres so many for looking at to listening to you. Some even how you want to your very what like everything is they. They take it as it is. Yeah. Okay. Almost. Yeah, thats fine. Um, yes. My own point is we will keep evolving as human beings radio. A journalist thats activated thats advocates, that garys the end goal is change. Uh, probably the goal is to show whatever changes were trying to drive people well in looking at the next generation of going to people who are thinking to come into journalism. I think what drives use key for unless its also like its appalling like this is like, i will see you in jail for room doesnt have seen do, but she has to just expose the story of what you was coming in to read. You need to ask yourself, why are you coming for the accolades of the out was because yes, so good job. Youll be nominated for an emmy. Yeah. But thats why that is because at the end of it, theres no need to young people to sleep with. Weve had done a lease we know was lose piece. Yeah. Because the story didnt feel and right. So we dont know what you wanna know of whats happening. Story about the floods that it doesnt speak. Right. So i dont know as a young person was deciding. Okay, id like to see people in june, so im going to enjoy it. Become a journalist. I love people dont like im not gonna be great on top of my face. Thats what you want to do, then what you need to consider. Why . Yeah. Whats to what extent do you need to be on this like you like the attention of the accolades or you know what im going to do this because of the right thing to do for myself. I is motivation being the key, like how youre getting it for you. Good. All right, so now, so for me, i mean, what i thought i quoted me was like, lets get just if i have a brother who was, im not be. So that was what motivated me wasnt any of what i didnt know. The i was going to call. Yeah. But for me, more important is the solution we need to about from the tv shows that these 2 big things of you know, practicing non user practice. So i want to see eddie told us 26 people dont. We dont see jo ninetys, old identity is dont people to engage. They just say youre not cvc, dont know how to do. John is in the all got one should be im not supposed to be in the middle because im not young, but im not just heading out. So i feel we should try to overcome distributions. Activity room is not a bond, was, is not something that we cannot speak about. Well, she says, lets be transferring. Lets try to what pulled out right now. So because the audience sees the proof, ive done these governments already doing that. Now ive been using the right on us last, but not least. So i lance, part of my journalism he examines. I dream then that went out by rough. I know there was seamless and that coverage. And ive also learned from the d. B, z of come apart from that day to day food. If i take the guides me as i work. So by the end of the day, i believe that we should ask ourselves that question. When we get into us, piece of that, how do i ensure that i get development . So jen, again, i see you full training. I see the youth and i want to emphasize that the advertising you, im all the, im tired of the roots in system. Yeah. And they want to see a change. Yeah. And if we wanted fully progress on a video conference, then we have to move towards more activism and i dont see any like the amount of them and activity on us. Thank you so so much. Thank you to audience at the beginning of this debate. We us a very simple question. Where is the line between activism and journalism . And as one of the people here said, its just papa k o, its when you try to find the sun. Thank you all to a lovely audience here. Thank you to kind of look at the usual. Thank you.
