Unmasking Misinformation: Journalist’s Quest for Verified Truth (International Edition)

The Journalists as Fact Checkers workshop, organised by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Africa for the Womentorship Champions, recently, was an unexpected catalyst for my growth as a female human rights defender. It effortlessly merged with my duties as both a journalist and an advocate, highlighting how journalism serves as a crucial act of service against misinformation. In Zimbabwe, where confirming straightforward facts such as fatality counts from road accidents can be difficult because of restricted access to data, fact-checking goes beyond being just part of one’s job; it transforms into a nuanced but important mode of defiance. One powerful takeaway was learning about “lateral reading,” which pushed me to go deeper than just skimming content and succumbing to click temptations. This change in mindset has provided me with a persistent critical outlook, examining each headline through the meticulous gaze of an investigator. Rather than taking information at ...

Angel Reese Demands $50K Bonus After Slamming WNBA Salaries Following Unrivaled Championship Win

Angel Reese secured the first-ever championship title of the Unrivaled League on Monday evening, along with a $50,000 prize.

Reese, who won the college national championship with LSU in 2023 was associated with Rose BC alongside Chelsea Gray, Lexie Hull, Kahleah Copper, Azura Stevens, and Brittney Sykes.

Every participant secured the bonus, and it’s fair to mention that Reese was quite excited.

"Got 50K needed!" she tweeted right after securing the victory.

"Hey angel girl, just wanted to check in and see how ur doing and just let u know I’m here for u if u need anything…esp if u need to get rid of 50k by tomorrow or anything like that…" Colson replied to Reese's post.

But Reese turned it down, and it seems her original post wasn't much of sarcasm.

"hey sista. i’m doing well. just won 50k on a flight. I know you are VERY aware & i’m sorry to break it to you but i’m on a rookie contract & that 50k was a little more than half of my contract so I have to keep that to myself…. sorry :( give me a few years and i gotchu. be well," Reese replied .

Reese has spoken about WNBA contracts recently - she made just under $75,000 in her rookie season and will make less than that this upcoming year.

"I’m living beyond my means. Hating pays them bills, baby. I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all," she said back in October. "I don’t even think that pays one of my bills. Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay at. Let me do the math real quick. I don’t even know my (WNBA) salary, $74,000?"

Reese also said earlier this month that she's willing to "stay at the negotiating table for as long as it takes" to get players more money.

Reese was named the Defensive Player of the Year in the inaugural season.
