I am Issa K. Napon,journalist from Burkina Faso, a french
speaking country located in west Africa. I have worked for
sixteen years for the public Radio TV corporation (RTB) as a
news anchor and reporter but I am now involved in
investigative journalism, telling stories on political and
social issues, highlighting facts which threaten and
affecting negatively people’s life. I was several time
awarded in my career, including a 2008 CNN African
Journalists of the Year Award . I always try to deliver
high-quality information to promote transparency,
accountability and a higher quality of life for our
citizens.
For my fellowship year, I want to improve my leadership
skills, learn more about investigative journalism, online
media as well as digital media, meet experienced people and
professionals in my field of study.
Something personal about me, is that I love soccer , enjoy
music like Marvin Gaye, Dire Straits, Temptations, Beyonce,
discovering nature, famous places and everything linked to
Indians tribes, especially Navajo and Apache.
