News, news, news – we love it here on Africa Daily. We like to chat about what’s happening where, to whom, why….
Another man who lives and breathes the news it is Patrick Gathara. He’s a man of many talents – drawing political cartoons, but also writing editorials for international outlets like the Washington Post and Al Jazeera as well as curating the news website ‘The Elephant’ in his home country of Kenya.
He’s also a big user of Twitter – posting some of the longest running threads in order to challenge the language and choices of the mainstream media houses.
Victoria Uwonkunda sat down to talk to him about how he’s trying to change the narrative… one tweet at a time.
