The Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID), led by Dapo Olorunyomi, publisher of PREMIUM TIMES, has embarked on an ambitious project to preserve the rich history of journalism in Africa. According to a report by Premium Times Nigeria, the Living Archives Initiative aims to digitise and safeguard the works and legacies of journalists who have significantly shaped the continent’s media landscape.
As Africa’s media landscape evolves, it is crucial to preserve the stories and insights of those who have contributed to its development. By digitising and archiving these works, the Living Archives Initiative seeks to create a comprehensive resource for researchers, journalists, and the general public alike. The initiative is expected to play a significant role in ensuring that the contributions of African journalists are not lost to the sands of time.
The launch of the Living Archives Initiative underscores CJID’s commitment to promoting journalistic excellence and fostering a vibrant, sustainable media landscape in Africa. The initiative aligns with CJID’s mission to support innovation and collaboration within the journalism sector, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
