In a strategic effort to address the economic challenges confronting digital journalism, the Osun Online Publishers Association (OOPA) is set to host a high-level digital media workshop themed: “Beyond the Story: The Economics of Press Freedom in the Digital Media Space.”


The event is scheduled for Thursday, July 24, 2025, at 10:00 AM, and will be held at Ben-Ber Hall, Ring Road, Osogbo, the Osun State capital.



With the urgent need to empower grassroots media practitioners and combat the growing marginalization of journalists, the workshop will feature engaging sessions led by seasoned industry experts. Adejumo Kabir, a renowned investigative journalist and media development advocate, will deliver the keynote address, offering deep insights into the empowerment of local media voices in today’s digital era.


Another key session will be anchored by Moses Adedire, an ICT consultant and tech entrepreneur, who will speak on the importance of financial independence for journalists and highlight emerging economic opportunities within the digital media ecosystem.


According to OOPA, under the leadership of Mukhtar Ajelogbon, the workshop is a critical step in the association’s broader mission to reposition community journalism, deepen press freedom, and strengthen the financial resilience of media professionals across Osun State and beyond.


 “This event is not just about storytelling; it is about sustaining the storyteller,” the association emphasized in a statement.



As media professionals continue to navigate a landscape marked by economic constraints and ethical challenges, the workshop aims to serve as a catalyst for transformation, fostering innovation, sustainability, and press freedom in the digital age.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
