The Journalism Hangout
Dogbevi’s Journalism Hangout began on May 3, 2019, as a modest and cost-effective initiative to informally train journalists.[18] At each hangout, journalists and other professionals share experiences, meals and drinks while discussing practical ways of improving professionalism in the media, strengthening fact-checking, and harnessing modern tools, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), to raise the standard of journalism.[19] The gatherings provide a friendly atmosphere built on trust, where participants openly exchange ideas and learn from one another.[20]
Since its inception, Dogbevi has organised The Journalism Hangout in several cities across Ghana, including Accra, Kumasi, Sunyani, Koforidua, Tamale, Walewale, Ho, and Takoradi.[21][22]
