At the workshops, organized in collaboration with the Wole Soyinka Center for Investigative Journalism, Reiner provided tips on producing long-form, investigative radio features and in-depth news reporting. In addition to learning about various techniques of producing compelling audio journalism, participants had the opportunity to produce radio stories, which were critiqued by the class on the last day of the workshop.
In Abuja, Reiner served as a panelist at the screening of the documentary “Storm Lake.” The film highlighted how a Pulitzer Prize-winning small town Iowa newspaper played a critical role in keeping residents informed and holding elected representatives accountable. At the panel discussion attended by journalists, civil society representatives, and journalism students, Reiner described the indispensable role of the media in a democracy.
In Lagos, Reiner interacted with journalism students and faculty at the Yaba College of Technology , where he shared insights on career opportunities in journalism and other communication fields. To conclude his visit to Yaba Tech, Reiner was hosted on Yaba Tech Radio 89.3 FM, where he discussed journalism education in the United States as well as U.S. higher education opportunities for students and faculty members.
