Women Journalists Should Be Considered In Cabal Nomination -By Aishatu Danjuma

In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of diversity in various spheres of society, including the media. Women journalists, in particular, have made significant contributions to the field of journalism, and their voices and perspectives are crucial in shaping public discourse. In this context, it is important to consider why women journalists should be included in cabal nominations, and how the example of Abike Dabiri Erewa highlights the value of this approach.

Firstly, it is important to note that women journalists often face significant challenges in their work, including gender discrimination, harassment, and unequal pay. Despite these obstacles, many women have excelled in the field of journalism, bringing unique insights and perspectives to their reporting. By including women journalists in cabal nominations, media organizations can help to promote gender equality and diversity, which can improve the quality of journalism and enhance the public’s trust in the media.

One example of a woman journalist who has made a significant impact in the media is Abike Dabiri Erewa, a Nigerian journalist and politician. Dabiri Erewa began her career as a journalist, working for various media organizations in Nigeria and abroad. She was later appointed as the Chair of the Nigerian Diaspora Commission, a government agency tasked with promoting the interests of Nigerians living abroad.

Throughout her career, Dabiri Erewa has been a vocal advocate for women’s rights and gender equality, using her platform as a journalist and politician to highlight the issues facing women in Nigeria and around the world. She has also been a strong proponent of press freedom and media diversity, emphasizing the importance of a vibrant and independent media in promoting democratic values and good governance.

Dabiri Erewa’s example illustrates the value of including women journalists in cabal nominations. By recognizing the contributions of women like Dabiri Erewa, media organizations can help to promote gender equality and diversity, while also improving the quality of journalism and enhancing the public’s trust in the media.

In conclusion, women journalists have made significant contributions to the field of journalism, and their perspectives and voices are crucial in shaping public discourse. By including women journalists in cabal nominations, media organizations can promote gender equality and diversity, while also improving the quality of journalism and enhancing the public’s trust in the media. The example of Abike Dabiri Erewa highlights the value of this approach, and serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of promoting gender equality and diversity in all spheres of society.
