Tools of the Trade Panel: Reporting on LGBTQI+ Rights and Religion in Sub-Saharan Africa
Update: 2017-09-09
Description
In Sub-Saharan Africa, as in much of the world, reporting on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression can be tricky. Cultural taboos, entrenched stereotypes, social hostilities, legal prohibitions and editorial censorship often distort coverage of these sensitive topics. Add religion to the mix and producing responsible journalism on sexual and gender minorities can seem impossible. On this panel, reporters from across Sub-Saharan Africa will share their perspectives on media freedom challenges and opportunities in the region. This panel is made possible through the generosity of the Arcus Foundation. Brian Pellot • Ambrose Barigye • Martha Mukaiwa • Wana Udobang
