Democracy under pressure, power concentrated in the hands of a few, international entanglements: We want to explore these questions in depth – in a six-part podcast series on Oligarchs in Africa and the Future of Democracy.
We are looking for curious, investigative journalists who are eager to work with leading experts to shed light on hidden dynamics, expose contradictions, and bring stories to life that go far beyond the headlines.
Your tasks:
- Develop and host six podcast episodes (60–90 minutes each) in English and/or French
- Research and select compelling interviewees
- Conduct interviews that combine depth and accessibility
- Produce the podcast episodes, including post-production
You bring:
- Proven journalistic experience and enthusiasm (podcast experience is a plus)
- Experience in research, interview techniques, and storytelling
- Sensitivity to political and economic dynamics in Africa and beyond
- Ability to present complex topics in an engaging and understandable way
If you are interested in joining this project, please send your application including a brief overview of your journalistic experience (with samples), ideas for potential interviewees, and detailed cost information by 09.12.2025 to jenny.ouedraogo@rosalux.org.
