using Nigeria as base; and to promote reporting in a context that gives it meaning and

What We Are
FrontFoot Media Initiative is a non-profit mass media organization which seeks to promote enduring change in Africa through robust and uncompromising journalism. It is inspired by the determination of three experienced Nigerian journalists to make the profession more relevant in bringing about change in the material conditions of the people and the way they are governed.
If journalism is to advance the Nigerian people, it must reject the old narratives of compromise, corruption, and cohabitation with the very forces that have perennially frustrated that objective.
Why We're Different
Contemporary journalism is mired in the old and familiar narrative of trouble, doom, and gloom based on the belief that
bad news sells. But a surfeit of bad news can result in a self-fulfilling prophecy, of a future almost denuded of hope.
The story of the human condition is far more complicated, and this will be reflected in our work. Without glossing over
the bad news, we will also reflect the light in the horizon and the rainbow in the sky.

Our Events
FrontFoot has been busy since inception in 2022. We have had multiple multi-city events where we engaged key stakeholders of the Nigerian media and politics and discussed critical issues with both sectors as well as pragmatic ways forward.
Post-Event Reports
Participating journalists put pen to paper and created reports based on what they'd learned at their respective workshops.
