The masterclass is backed by the global Solutions Journalism Network (SJN) and will help participants sharpen their editorial vision, reframe storytelling models, and drive public discourse with powerful, evidence-based journalism. Every applicant will benefit from engaging with peer editors across Nigeria while learning from expert facilitators trained to help you develop actionable newsroom strategies.
In a country like Nigeria where journalism often stops at identifying problems, this training is an invitation to move beyond the headlines—to reimagine the power of journalism in catalyzing solutions. If selected, you’ll not only gain certification from Pan-Atlantic University, but also earn recognition as a leader capable of transforming editorial culture within your organization.
Journalism in Nigeria is undergoing a much-needed shift, and you can be at the forefront of that transformation. Solutions journalism is not fluff—it’s bold, deeply reported, and evidence-based. It focuses on responses to social challenges, how they work, and what others can learn from them. And now, Nigeria Health Watch is giving you the tools and platform to make it mainstream in your newsroom.
Whether you’re reporting on healthcare, education, gender, climate, or governance, this masterclass will redefine how your newsroom reports impact—and how the public engages with your stories.
