What are the responsibilities and job description for the WSCIJ Invites Applications for CMEDIA Local Journalism Training position at Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism (WSCIJ)?
The Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism (WSCIJ), under its Collaborative Media Engagement for Development, Inclusivity and Accountability (CMEDIA) project, invites journalists across Nigeria to apply for its upcoming local journalism training, focused on strengthening accountability reporting and fostering collaboration at the sub-national level.
Local journalism plays a critical role in advancing transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance. However, many journalists working at the state and community levels continue to face structural challenges, including limited resources, restricted access to data, and weak collaboration frameworks. These challenges often affect the depth, consistency, and impact of accountability reporting.
This training is designed to address these gaps by equipping journalists with practical approaches to strengthen accountability reporting while building collaborative networks that can drive sustained impact. Participants will gain insights into how to work across newsrooms, follow stories beyond initial publication, and deepen public-interest reporting within their communities.
The training will hold on Thursday, 16 April 2026, bringing together journalists from different parts of the country who are committed to strengthening local and collaborative journalism.
As part of the application process, applicants are required to complete a short survey. This will not only support the selection process but also provide baseline insights into the current state of local journalism in Nigeria.
