Hamadou Tidiane Sy is the Founder and Director at E-jicom, a pan-African tertiary education institution that trains aspiring and mid-career journalists. 

E-jicom is a pioneer and a reference in francophone Africa when it comes to the new trends in journalism (fact checking, data journalism, digital media, etc.) and explores how technology is changing the information gathering and dissemination process, through digital formats and via the online platforms. “We see this as an incredible opportunity to make a real difference in reshaping Africa’s image. 

We want to give the next generation the tools they need to rewrite the African narrative and break free from stereotypes that have held us back for too long. It’s not just about traditional training; we’re offering specialized programs to train aspiring journalists and communication professionals, adding that extra edge to their skills.”
