I'm really looking forward to the contributions to this special issue that @admire2mare, @Ogolah and @jSWahutu_nyu and I will co-edit for @AfrJournStud. It focusses on news/media producers (peripheral actors) that operate outside legacy news media.

A few weeks ago, my good friend @DavidCheruiyot and I published a piece on @MCSjournal where we criticize the current theoretical monopoly Minority World Countries institutions hold in our field. Proud to keep pushing this conversation further. https://t.co/FHRyMbHCJg

I admire my colleagues and friends who on top of everything else, manage to stay on top of their social media. I have had zero energy to even check Twitter in WEEKS
