Association of Community Media Practitioners in Agege and Orile-Agege has promised to work towards the development and progress of its host communities and its dwellers.
Community journalism serves a critical role in keeping residents informed about what is happening in their neighborhoods, cities, and towns. It provides a platform for people to voice their opinions, concerns, and ideas, as well as shine a light on important issues that may be overlooked by larger news organizations.
Acmap is a group of independent and committed media Practitioners with the sole aim of informing the good people Agege and Orile-Agege about happenings within and outside their various communities.
This association is apolitical and was formed to involve the people of Agege and Orile-Agege in everything that affects their daily existence from Governance, Politics, Religion, Entertainment, Sport, to Security and others.
Community journalism is a branch of journalism that focuses on covering local news and events that are relevant to the residents of a specific community. It is a vital part of the media industry as it provides a platform for people to voice their concerns and bring attention to issues that are often overlooked by larger news organizations.
Community journalism helps to build strong communities by fostering a sense of connection and shared identity among residents. By providing coverage of local events and issues, community journalists help to create a sense of belonging and pride in one’s community. This, in turn, can lead to increased community engagement, improved social cohesion, development and a greater sense of community involvement.
The first and only Independent association of community media Practitioners in Agege and Orile-Agege, “AACMAP” owes the good People of Agege and Orile-Agege irrespective of their Political affiliation, religion, gender, race, tribe, colour, background, age and profession the responsibility to recognize the value of providing readers with information that is relevant to their daily lives.
The world has become a global village through the use of the Internet. The new technologies allowed journalists to reach a wider audience and provide more immersive coverage of local events and issues. However, the rise of these new media also brought some challenges, the need for journalists to adapt to new forms of story telling, fake news and Unprofessional practice by some gate crashers and Unprofessionals in the media sector.
Recently, the practice of community journalism in Agege and Orile-Agege has experienced a resurgence and recorded so many achievements due to the activities of all members of the Association of Agege and Orile-Agege Community Media Practitioners (AACMAP).
The rise of digital media and social networking platforms have made it easier for journalists to connect with readers and build communities around their work. Despite the many benefits of community journalism, the digital age has brought new challenges and obstacles to the industry. One of the most significant challenges is the rise of fake news and misinformation, which has made it more difficult for readers to trust the information they receive from media outlets.
But, AACMAP as a body has vowed to provide authentic and credible information to her readers in Agege and Orile-Agege Lcda because journalists plays a critical role in keeping communities informed about the issues that affect their daily lives.
We serve as the authentic and reliable voice of the people and are open to both the public and private sectors for collaborations and partnership that will bring about people oriented developments to Agege and Orile-Agege.
