𝑶𝒏 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑽𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑱𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒎

Many young journalists think their voice must sound like someone else’s. They imitate senior reporters, popular broadcasters, or trending online styles. But a voice is not borrowed. It is built.

Your voice develops through reading deeply, writing consistently, and observing critically. It grows when you make mistakes and correct them. When you ask better questions after asking the wrong ones. When you learn that silence can sometimes be more respectful than sound.

Do not rush to sound loud. Strive to sound clear. Clarity is what allows your audience to follow complex issues and make informed decisions. Whether you report on politics, health, culture, or community stories, your responsibility is to guide understanding, not confusion.

Your voice matters not because it is perfect but because it is honest. Speak with care. Write with purpose. Let your work show growth before it seeks attention.

Congratulations to Beryl Diane Webrim Munshep Massa, winner of the Victoria International Media Merit Award -Viimma 2025 CTNP Excellence Award for Best Feature Story in the student category, and to H**e Hamidou Abdu, who earned second place.

As student journalists, both are still finding their footing in the craft, learning how to ask the right questions, listen closely, and tell stories with care and responsibility. Their work shows curiosity, commitment, and a growing confidence in using storytelling to engage with real issues in their communities.

Being recognised at this stage of their journey is an encouragement to keep learning, refining their voices, and staying open to mentorship and experience. It is also a reminder of the importance of creating spaces where young people can practice journalism with guidance and purpose.

We congratulate them both and look forward to seeing how their skills and perspectives continue to develop.

🇨🇲 A new chapter for Cameroon Journalism begins

It is still mid December but it’s safe to say the new year came early.

When we announced our partnership with the Cameroon Association of Media Professionals (CAMP) in August, a journalist colleague asked me, “How will it look like?”

I laughed and said something along the lines of, “I don’t know, but it will be huge.”

Today, the Camer Today × CAMP handshake is proving to be one for the books, as seen in the successful introduction of a student category at the Victoria International Media Merit Awards (VIIMMA).

When we launched the call for submissions, we were clear: the goal was not to get perfect stories, but to recognise effort, initiative, and promise.

Interestingly, we received some truly impressive entries, which we will begin publishing in the coming days.

Congratulations to the two winners in the category - Beryl and H**e - both ladies.

The top two submissions will also receive paid internship placements in leading media organisations in Cameroon, our way of helping students bridge the gap between classroom learning and real newsroom experience.

This immersion, we believe, offers them a foretaste of the media landscape and the profession they are being gently midwifed into.

Thank you, CAMP, for being a springboard for journalism students and young journalists.

The emerging era of Cameroon journalism is grateful.

As we countdown to Friday, the theme for this year "Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence in Journalism and Mass Communication" becomes impossible to ignore.

AI is transforming how stories are gathered, verified and shared, yet its greatest impact depends entirely on the ethics guiding those who use it.

In an era where a single algorithm can shape public opinion, the responsibility carried by journalists becomes even heavier. Integrity, transparency and accountability are no longer ideals, they are survival tools.

This Friday, at the Victoria International Media Merit Award -Viimma 2025, we celebrate those who choose truth over shortcuts and humanity over automation.

V/F:🕯️PIUS NJAWÉ: le temps n’efface pas le manque

15 ans déjà depuis sa mort, journaliste militant, fondateur du Messager, arrêté 126 fois, survivant à trois tentatives d’assassinat et emprisonné dix mois après avoir publié une nouvelle sur la mort du président Paul Biya.

Aujourd’hui, Le Messager se souvient de lui.

V/A: 🕯️ PIUS NJAWÉ: A Legacy That Endures

Fifteen years after his death, the founder of Le Messager remains a symbol of press freedom; arrested 126 times, victim of three assassination attempts, and imprisoned ten months following a report on President Paul Biya’s death.

Today, Le Messager reflects on his legacy.

There are moments in the life of a nation when the weight of storytelling becomes impossible to ignore. Moments when you realise that without courageous voices, communities would remain unheard and histories would fade into silence. These moments arrive quietly at first, but their meaning grows until the entire country feels their presence.

This is one of those moments for Cameroon.

As the days draw closer to the Victoria International Media Merit Award this Friday, an unmistakable energy is rising across newsrooms and community spaces. It is the awareness that journalism has never been just information. It has been a lifeline that keeps citizens connected to truth in times of uncertainty. It has been the voice that explains the world when confusion threatens to take over. It has been the witness that refuses to let injustice go unnoticed. It has been the bridge that carries stories from isolated corners to the national stage.

Across the years, our journalists have stood in rain, in conflict, in tension and in hope. They have asked questions many were afraid to ask. They have documented realities so future generations will never be left guessing. They have amplified voices that would otherwise disappear into the background noise. Their work has shaped understanding, inspired action and protected the integrity of public conversation.

This week carries the weight of that legacy.

Because the Victoria International Media Merit Award is not simply approaching. It is arriving with the full force of recognition for those who have held the nation’s truth steady. It is arriving as a tribute to the radio host who speaks to millions before dawn. To the TV presenter who simplifies the complicated so the nation can breathe. To the investigative reporter who digs where others stop. To the humanitarian and peace communicator who uses their craft to protect dignity. To the photojournalist who captures what words cannot carry. To every journalist whose persistence has kept the darkness away.

Friday is more than a date. It is a reminder that the work of journalists sustains national memory. It strengthens democracy. It shapes identity. It connects the country to itself.

As we move toward this defining moment, we are witnessing something rare. A nation preparing to honour its storytellers with the respect they deserve. A nation recognising that truth has guardians. A nation ready to celebrate those who use their microphones, cameras and pens as tools of service.

When Friday comes and the hall lights up, it will not just be an award ceremony. It will be a declaration that journalism in Cameroon remains unbroken, unshaken and essential. It will be a celebration of every voice that has dared to tell the nation’s story with courage.

This is the week. This is the moment. And the Victoria International Media Merit Award -Viimma this Friday will stand as a milestone in the ongoing story of Cameroon’s media and the people who carry its truth.
