Daily Trust Foundation, a non-profit making arm of the Media Trust Limited, Publishers of Daily Trust Newspapers has again trained its members of staff, corps members and students on internship on some aspects of journalism with a view to enhancing their news writing capacity.
Staff members of the organisation were trained on Inforgraphics, while corps members and interns were taken through the basics of investigative journalism.
The Chairman of the DTF, Dr Theophilus Abba, while making his opening remarks during the training, urged all participants to maximize the opportunity by being attentive throughout the training sessions.
He underscored the relevance of investigative journalism in exposing corrupt practices ravaging the country, and thus asked the participants to grab the training opportunity to build a successful career in journalism.
He said, “EFCC, ICPC, Auditor-General’s Office and many other government agencies are there to fight corruption. The media too should join them in fighting against corruption through in-depth investigative stories, exclusive reports and special reports.”
The DTF boss lamented how majority of Nigerian media organisations as ‘fourth arm of the government have not been living up to expectations’ in holding government officials accountable.
