In the Beginning
It began with the realisation that during the war, most newspaper and radio journalists were picking up the news from international radio and websites when the news was happening in their backyard.
These news stories had been supplied by a small band of local journalists working for international news agencies like Reuters, Associated Press (AP), Agence France Presse (AFP), British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Voice of America (VOA), Radio France International (RFI) and others.
The journalists working for local news outlets were thus not going out to find the news from the source like their counterparts working for the international agencies, rather they sat back and copied what had been investigated and put out by the international agencies.
