Episode #17: Africa Press Freedoms on Decline - A Focus on Ghana

According to the RSF 2023 Free Press Index [https://rsf.org/en/2023-world-press-freedom-index-journalism-threatened-fake-content-industry?data_type=general&year=2023], journalism overall has become more difficult in Africa and the situation is now classified as “bad” in nearly 40% of its countries (compared to 33% in 2022).  Several journalists have also been murdered in Africa, including Martinez Zongo in Cameroon [https://rsf.org/en/country/cameroon] ( which ranked 138th). In Eritrea [https://rsf.org/en/country/eritrea] ( which ranks 174th), the media remain under President Issaias Afwerki [https://rsf.org/en/protagonist-issaias-afwerki]’s despotic grip. While Ghana seemed to have risen places in the continent, globally it dropped two places from 60th [https://rsf.org/en/index?year=2022] to 62nd place. Africa Blogging Lead Editor, Daniel Ominde, sat down with our Ghana contributor, Immanuel Obeng-Akrofi [https://blogging.africa/media-journalism/silencing-the-watchdog-press-freedom-in-ghana-on-the-decline/], to put these numbers into perspective.

Episode #16: The Kenyan Perspective: Unpacking the Opposition to President Ruto's 2023 Budget Proposals

President William Ruto's 2023/2024 budget proposals as contained in the 2023 Finance Bill have come under sharp criticism for being unresponsive to the current high cost of living in the country and the state of the economy. The increase in VAT on petroleum products from 8% to 16%, the introduction of a mandatory 3% housing levy for all salaried workers and the introduction of a digital services tax for digital content creators are among the proposals facing public outcry. Africa Blogging Lead Editor, Daniel Ominde, joined the Breakfast Central's Olive Emodi and Osarogie Ogbomwan on Nigeria's News Central TV [https://www.youtube.com/@NewsCentralAfrica/featured] to shed some light on the new proposals and how Kenyans are likely to be impacted.
