The Transparency International – Initiative Madagascar (IT – IM) is organizing an article contest for Malagasy journalists. This contest is sponsored by USAID Madagascar and AIM (Anti-corruption Initiative Madagascar).
Journalists are invited to write an article about Fight against corruption. This article has to be published in a Malagasy newspaper between January 1st to December 1st, 2008 and then sent to TI – IM. The name of the 3 winners will be known on December 9th, 2008 ( the World Day of the Fight against Corruption). The prizes will be a laptop, a desktop, and a cell phone.
The sad part of this contest, for me, is that the articles have to be written in Malagasy or French languages only.

hey thanks for the sharing! don’t be sad for the language barrier, you have no idea how much I s** at both 3 of our national languages but still keeping on writing !
Let’s ask the very very activist Foko journalists to apply at this contest, I’m pretty sure they will nail it. Do you have news from Patrick’s article on Lexpress? I was not sure wethere he will get published this time or next time.

Hi Jogany
It’s so cool to hear from you. Thx for the comments 😉
Sure, we should sensitize the FOKO journalists to take part in this contest.
Still waiting for the Patrick’s article.

Hi elias lungu. Thx for stopping by.
huh… what wan I say? cultural, social, economical… are okay. But once we talk bout politics, each news entity supports their own either they’re pros or cons the current gov. Do you guess the image? Telling bad things about the opponents and trying to bost their candidate.
