Investigative journalism is one of the most demanding areas of journalism, requiring in-depth research, time, creativity, and innovative approaches to effectively reach readers, viewers, and listeners.
At a time when a large proportion of audiences rely on social media to access and share information, journalists and media organisations face the growing challenge of presenting investigative stories on digital platforms without compromising quality, depth, accuracy, and credibility.
Against this backdrop, WINO Tanzania participated in a training aimed at strengthening journalists’ capacity to use digital platforms to process, produce, and distribute investigative stories and reach wider audiences.
The training was organised by the Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism (WSCIJ) and brought together journalists from different parts of Africa.
Under the session titled “Using Social Media for Investigative Journalism and Unlocking Opportunities,” Nigerian journalist Adeola Fayehun shared practical experiences and strategies on how journalists can use digital platforms to reach audiences, build engagement, and present investigative stories in compelling and accessible formats.
Meanwhile, Naziru Aboubakar, a journalist with experience at the BBC and Daily Monitor, shared insights into effective journalism strategies and the importance of using social media strategically to increase the visibility and reach of journalists’ work in today’s digital media environment.
For WINO Tanzania, the training is part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen journalists’ capacity to harness technology, innovation, and digital platforms to produce and disseminate impactful stories that address issues affecting citizens and matters of public interest.
