Media Monitoring Africa (MMA) is excited to officially open the applications for the 2022 lsu Elihle Awards. Journalists within the African continent are invited to apply for these Awards which open today (01 April 2022) and close on the 13th of May 2022.
These Awards aim to encourage journalists to highlight issues that are faced by children on the continent. Journalists from more than twenty countries have applied in the previous years and diverse issues about children have been raised. This shows that these awards have gained a lot of traction within the continent. MMA encourages journalists to submit their unique story ideas within the stated time frame.
MMA’s awards seek to give children a voice and highlight the status of children in our continent. Journalists are encouraged to submit their story ideas and these can be targeted at any mainstream news medium such as TV, Radio or Online.
