unrelenting audience-first accountability reporting

Dogged is a small team dedicated to accountability reporting and long-form journalism. We focus on hard news, field reporting, and stories that matter beyond the capital.

Why we do it

We believe African audiences deserve ambitious investigative journalism built for them, wherever they get their news.

Across the continent, there are stories of power, money, injustice, resilience, and change that deserve deeper reporting. We believe these stories are important whether or not they matter beyond the continent, yet resources are scarce for African-only investigations.

A key part of ensuring that our journalism is not shaped by debates happening elsewhere is exploring funding models that recognise the value of serving African audiences first.

What we do

We pursue rigorous, public-interest reporting on hidden stories, neglected beats, and counter-narratives.

We want to help strengthen journalism by putting audiences first, collaborating with colleagues, and using cutting-edge investigative methods.

We will explore locally relevant funding models that protect independence, serve audiences, and can be sustained over time.
