Pursuing a new Agenda

When I decided to leave my job as editor at Agenda in September in 2007, the decision didn’t come easy and I departed with a laughing and a crying eye. A laughing eye because I was looking forward to moving back into the commercial media sector and get involved once again in hands-on journalism. And a crying eye because I used to love producing this crucially important African women’s rights journal.

 

But then, life surprises us and comes up with an even better solution - a combination of both. Over the next five months, I will be working as an editorial consultant to Agenda and be producing two journals for the organisation. The first one will be looking at African family politics, while the second one will investigate women’s role in community media. I am very excited to be part of this key publication once again… and still have time to pursue other exciting journalism endeavours.
