The Family Planning News Network (FPNN) is proud to co-host a Solutions Journalism Reporting Trip in partnership with Nigeria Health Watch, scheduled to take place in Kano State. This initiative is designed to support and spotlight journalists who are committed to reproductive health reporting, particularly in the areas of family planning and sexual and reproductive health (SRH).
Elevating Solutions Journalism in Reproductive Health
This inaugural Solutions Journalism Reporting Trip 1.0 aims to nurture a new wave of journalists in Northern Nigeria who are passionate about solutions-oriented storytelling in public health. By focusing on reproductive health challenges and the innovative solutions that communities and health systems are implementing, this trip will help shape a more constructive, impact-driven media narrative.
Eligibility and Media Diversity
The program is open to journalists from across Northern Nigeria working in various formats, including print, radio, digital, and television. Campus journalists with demonstrated commitment and strong portfolios are also encouraged to apply.
Eligibility Criteria Include:
• A clear interest in reproductive health reporting
• A focus on solutions journalism, especially in family planning and SRH
• A strong portfolio of work in any journalistic medium
This effort underscores FPNN’s mission to elevate underreported stories in family planning through partnerships, training, and in-field reporting opportunities.
A Strategic Partnership Ahead of ICFP 2025
Nigeria Health Watch—one of the official regional media partners for ICFP 2025—brings deep expertise in health communication and a strong network of journalists across Northern Nigeria.
