The Nigeria Media Innovation Program, an initiative by MDIF aimed at supporting media organizations in maintaining their editorial independence and enhancing financial sustainability, is pleased to announce the launch of the Media Product Fellowship. This comprehensive program spans four months and aims to foster the development of product thinking, execution, and business acumen among emerging media practitioners.
