In Lango, the role of local journalists in environmental storytelling is often underestimated. Yet they are the bridge between scientific facts and everyday people.
When journalists are trained to cover climate issues accurately and creatively, they make complex topics relatable. A well-told story about a farmer adapting to drought or a village managing its waste can spark discussions, influence policy, and inspire other communities.
However, many journalists lack resources and specialized training to tackle climate topics effectively. That’s why capacity building is key. By equipping them with tools like fact-checking methods, data analysis, and storytelling techniques, we can elevate climate reporting in local languages that communities understand.
Strong journalism is strong action. Let’s invest in our storytellers so they can drive real change in Lango.
