Citi FM is representing Ghana at the 2015 edition of the Global Editors Network (GEN) Summit in Barcelona, Spain.
[contextly_sidebar id=”ZGvQhHOVsqF6tw0RX38frGbaUT5p3HlG”]Known as the World Cup of Newsroom Innovation,’ the Citi FM team, represented by Betty Kankam Boadu and New Media Manager Mawuli Tsikata, will compete with some major media houses including the BBC, RFI among others to win the title of Editors Lab World Champion.
Last year, CitiFM beat competition from some of Ghana’s major media houses to win the 2014 Editors Lab organised by Global Editors Network (GEN) and Penplusbytes to pick up the sole ticket to represent Ghana.
The project, Citi Ebola Updates – a Mobile Platform that enables people, both educated and uneducated to receive information and updates on the status of Ebola in the country in their preferred local language, was adjudged the best.
The competition, under the theme ‘Hack against Ebola’ saw participants build new tools for covering and preventing the Ebola epidemic (at a local, national or regional level).
