ACTIONS SPEAK GREATER THAN WORDS!AS A RESULT, WE CAN NOT HELP CHOOSING THE INTERNATIONAL BRILLANT, PROUD AND CONSCIOUS REPORTER « TUKUFU ZUBERI », AS THE BEST INTERNATIONAL REPORTER OF THE YEAR (2015-2016) FOR MANY REASONS:
-FIRST AND FOREMOST, HE HAS ACHIEVED SEVERAL REALISTIC AND RELEVANT REPORTS OVER THE YEARS, AS FAR AS AFRICA, AMERICA AND SOUTH AMERICA ARE CONCERNED! SECONDLY, THE MAIN AIM WHICH STIRS HIM TO ACTION TO SOME EXTENT, IS TO CAST AWAY SOME STEREOTYPES OR VAGARY PREJUDICES IN THE MINDS OF THE AFRICAN LIVING ABROAD IN THE DIASPORA!
-RECENTLY,HE VISITED « BRAZIL » AND HAS AT THE SAME TIME POINTED OUT BOTH SIDES OF THE BRAZILIAN STORY:IN ANOTHER WORDS, HALF OF THE BRAZILIAN STORY HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD IN RACISM TERMS, BECAUSE THAT COUNTRY IS STILL FACING RAMPANT RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION EVER SINCE, BEHIND CLOSED DOORS:TRUTH IN THE WORLD THAT HAS BEEN REVEALED CLEARLY BY THE REPORTER « TUKUFU ZUBERI » TO SOME EXTENT!
-(« COMMUNICATION AND POLITICS TODAY »):
THE CONTROVERSY GOES ON BECAUSE IF YOU DO YOUR BEST TO SPEAK OUT NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, YOU MIGHT BE LABELED AS A POLTICIAN OR A REVOLUTIONNARY!IN CONSEQUENCE,AS PROFESSIONAL REPORTERS, WE OUGHT TO INSTILL IN THE MINDS OF OUR PEOPLE THE FACT THAT COMMUNICATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN CENTRAL TO POLITICS AND MASS COMMUNICATION ARE A KEY FEATURE OF MODERN POLITICS NOWADAYS AS WELL!IN THE SAME TREND,THE PRESS PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE BOTH IN PRESERVING THE OLD AND IN USHERING IN THE NEW:MOREOVER,THE PRESS ALWAYS MAKES NEWS,LITTERALLY AND FIGURATEVELY:THAT’S TO SAY, RECENT EVENTS WORLDWIDE HAVE SHOWN THE EXTENT OF ITS FOURTH POWER BOTH AS CATALYST AND OBSTACLE!
