In this week’s issue, we go behind the scenes with Kgomotso Modise- a South African journalist and digital storyteller who’s breaking down the old walls between “mainstream reporter” and “content creator.” For her, it’s all one flow of news, just moving through different pipes. Kgomotso opens up about juggling platforms, dealing with misogynistic trolling, and creating everything straight from her phone. And as her influence grows on TikTok and Instagram, she’s using that reach to train and uplift a new generation of African news creators ready to tell their own stories their own way.

If you missed our issue last week, now’s a good time to catch up. We spoke to to Caleb Okereke, Executive Editor of Minority Africa. His newsroom is testing whether AI can learn the instincts that make editors human; weighing stories, nuance, and ethics. What does this mean for the future of editorial judgment?

We work with media organisations to turn big ideas into real impact — integrating AI, navigating digital shifts, and rethinking editorial strategy for the future. Curious about what that could look like for you? Let’s connect. Send me an email.

Also, I’d love to hear directly from you; reply to this email to say hey!
