Ureport a game changer for freelance journalists

Growing up, I always wanted to be a journalist. I admired television anchors, newspaper writers and radio presenters. I would copy what they did and said as I worked hard to become a journalist myself one day.

In fact, after finishing my form four, I started writing a gutter newspaper. It was cheap but quite popular in my region. I had no skills in writing and reporting and no knowledge of legal and ethical requirements but I still run my own gutter press. My passion for journalism informed my decision to pursue a diploma course in mass communication and journalism at one of the renowned media school in Kenya.
