Dear ___________,
Dear ________,
Africangriot.net is the new voice of Africa, telling the African story like no one has. Its Africa like you've never seen it, presented through the eyes of Africans. Africangriot.net is the premier online news magazine solely dedicated to the African continent and committed to bringing all of Africa to the world. Main stream international media tend to focus on Africa’s negatives - its failures and weaknesses. There is much more to Africa than the wars, diseases and political upheavals. Today’s Africa is witnessing a steady growth of democracy and good governance, economic increase and social development. Yet little is known of that. Africangriot.net was established to provide balance in bringing all of Africa to the world – its weaknesses, as well as strengths, rich traditions, fascinating cultural heritage, and the continent’s fast evolving and improved business environment.
For many years, there is has been an overwhelming negative depiction of Africa in mainstream media, but you know that there is more to Africa than just what is shown on TV, online and in print. Don't you feel it's about time someone showed the world the real Africa? Africangriot.net is the premier online news magazine that will bring Africa's strengths and weaknesses, her rich traditions, fascinating cultural heritage, and the continent’s fast-evolving and improved business environment to digital consumers with on-demand content including daily news, user-generated content, audio & video, and photography.
Africangriot.net travels the continent, showcasing its extraordinary people – the ordinary heroes making a difference in their communities, the dynamic business leaders who are striving to make the continent an attractive venue for investors and the political leaders who are redefining leadership. We are a true reflection of today’s realities on the continent. Like any good news organization we pursue the conventional stories – the corrupt leaders, conflicts, and break through news, as well as arts and entertainment, science and technology, sports, and business development. Our mission is to go beyond all standard news and to present the other side of Africa – the side that is most often neglected by the mainstream media, featuring events and people that are bringing change and making a difference in Africa today.
