Journalism In A Digital Age
 |
| Michael Naku aka Soxi |
Therefore, the broadcast outlets and newspapers that operate the Web sites still maintain control of the setting of the journalistic agendas and the public debate. Still, online journalism stands to dramatically alter the traditional role of the reporter and editor.
First, online journalism places far more power in the hands of the user, allowing the reader to challenge the traditional role of the publication as the gatekeeper of news and information.
The user can depend on the gatekeeper to select and filter the news in the tradition manner, or the user can drill down to the basic documents of a story. In short, the user can look over the shoulder of the reporter by researching the original documents and easily comparing one reporter's story with those of others by scanning news publications throughout the country. Archives also become easily accessible.
Second, online journalism opens up new ways of storytelling, primarily through the technical components of the new medium. Simply put, online journalists can provide a variety of media--text, audio, video, and photographs--unlike other media. Data searching provides a means to access information unable in other media.
Third, online journalism can provide outlets for nontraditional means of news and information. As A.J. Leibling once said: "Freedom of the press belongs to those who own one." The Internet enables everyone who owns a computer to have his or her own printing press.

SDN: Facilitating Community Empowerment
There is presently an asymmetry of power in negotiating social contracts between stakeholders in the global economy, with powerful multinational companies and private financial institutions in the strongest position.
There should be a new global economic and social contract, which corrects this asymmetry of negotiating power and ensures that basic rights – including economic and social development – are not sacrificed in one part of the world to the benefit of another.
Our mission is to support the efforts of those affected by extractive industries and weak governance through rights based community empowerment. We strive to protect human rights and demand responsive governance.
Our two organisational pillars of research and advocacy, supported by our two core tools of capacity building and pilot projects help facilitate communities and civil society to communicate a shared vision and negotiate with other stakeholders, to get a better deal from the investments and operations that affect their lives, livelihoods and environment.
SDN realizes its mission of supporting communities and civil society to communicate a shared vision and negotiate with other stakeholders through:
Our Theory of Change
"SDN believes that empowered communities can become the agents of change and uphold their basic socio-political and economic rights. Empowered communities can challenge unjust systems and, using the Rights Based Approach, hold to account State institutions and multinationals.Therefore, we help communities to become knowledgeable, confident, inclusive, organized and able to participate in and influence decision- making to improve their lives."
Chicoco Community Radio is Pregnant
When people protested, they were shot. Tens of thousands have lost their homes.
Chicoco Radio will allow them to reach out and speak up. From their floating station, people living in the city's slums will be able to demand their rights, campaign for change and celebrate their culture. Built and designed by local volunteers in collaboration with architects and engineers, the floating radio station will be one of the city’s landmark buildings.
Chicoco Radio facts:
• Chicoco Radio will be Nigeria’s first community radio station• 16 waterfront communities and groups will be on the community advisory board
• 250 people will be trained in technical, management and journalism skills
• 65,000 waterfront residents will have access to media technologies
• 1,500,000 people in Port Harcourt will be able to tune in to Chicoco Radio
'We were always taught we had no rights. That was the lesson the bulldozers were sent to teach. Now we're learning to speak up for our rights and our radio station will mean that we are heard.' - Fubara Samuel, Okrika waterfront
We've just finished our basic human rights journalsim course. It was wonderful. We had to challenge so many of our own prejudices as well as learn new ways to communicate new ideas.
Makmid, Amnesty International's Nigeria Researcher, clothed us in those ideas. In return we clothed him in traditional costumes - two of them - to thank him. We hope he'll be back soon.
After the course we were sent on assignment to make our first programmes. Some of us had never used a computer before this course, now we can make a basic programme package. We've got a lot more to learn, but we're making giant strides.
Stay with us on this journey and please support our radio station.

Womens Rights
Women in the Niger Delta suffer from many forms of discrimination and exclusion. Their inequality in political, economic and societal sphere prevents them from achieving their full potential in promoting peace and acting as constructive agents of change at all levels of society. This is despite their unique and proven talents as peacemakers and community developers.
In line with UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, the Niger Delta can become more stable if obstacles are removed that prevent the participation of women in decision-making and peace building processes and their needs, perspectives and experiences are considered in policymaking
and incorporated into all stages of programming.
SDN works to promote understanding and application of women's political, social and economic rights and strive to empower women to play an equal role in shaping a better, peaceful future for the Niger Delta.
Waterfronts: The Heartbeat Of Port Harcourt
Waterfront residents are working with architects, engineers, energy innovators and planners from around the world to find solutions to problems that ordinary people face everyday: clean water, sanitation, electricity, good housing. People in the waterfronts and across the city want to build homes, not to destroy them.
We want development, not demolition. We want to make Port Harcourt a city for all its citizens.
A government working together with its people could transform Port Harcourt into a model for cities across the continent and a partner to commercial interests across the world.
Lets focus attention on the waterfronts in Port Harcourt and make it a transformed city.
End Demolitions, Support Development

| I love Port Harcourt |
People live here
People Like You and Me
People from across the city are coming together to transform Port Harcourt into a ‘human city.’ They are inviting the government to join them.
Ordinary people build cities. People like you and me. If planners and politicians listen to the people, they will discover thousands and thousands of ideas and partners for development.
