Nigeria

Journalists in Nigeria are no strangers to attacks on the free press. Now, though, the industry faces a different kind of threat: A looming recession that is gutting newsrooms has been exacerbated by the pandemic. We need to rethink local news in a way that better serves communities across the country.
