How, and where, do I start explaining what Winstone Zulu meant for Africans living with HIV? How do I tell the story of this Zambian activist who turned a death sentence into a rich life for him, his family and millions of other Africans?

Winston, shown here, shaped Africa’s response to AIDS in many ways, from startling Zambia in 1992 as the first person to say publicly he was HIV-positive to 20 years of protest, critique, deadly mistakes and fresh thinking. (Photo by Antigone Barton)
It was a pleasure to hear so many Adivasi languages being spoken in one place: during a recent Democratization of Media workshop held in Koraput and organized jointly by CGnet Swara and Action Aid. Communication makes a community. That’s really what these 37 participants learned in the workshop. They also learned how to communicate more effectively in their own native languages using new tools like mobile phones.
Le Centre international pour les journalistes (ICFJ) a lancé un programme en partenariat avec le plus important syndicat de journalistes au Sénégal. Il s’agit d’un projet dont l’objectif est d’appuyer les professionnels des médias, en vue de travailler avec plus d’efficacité dans la promotion des libertés et la protection des journalistes.
Le programme, démarré en octobre 2009, dure trente mois.
