Environmental journalism is more than just reporting; it’s about shaping public opinion and influencing policy decisions that can have a lasting impact on our planet. As an award-winning Zambian journalist, Paul Shalala rightly pointed out, “The role of environmental journalists goes beyond just reporting. We have the power to shape public opinion and influence policy decisions that can have a lasting impact on our planet.”

As a journalist, winning awards is not just about recognition. It’s also a reminder that your work is making a difference and inspiring change. Paul Monde Shalala, renowned for his incisive reporting and analysis, believes that “Winning awards is not just about recognition. It’s a reminder that our work as journalists is making a difference and inspiring change.”

Climate change is a global crisis, and journalists are responsible for informing the public of its devastating effects and holding those in power accountable for their actions. As Paul Shalala puts it, “Climate change is a global crisis, and as journalists, we have a responsibility to inform the public of its devastating effects and hold those in power accountable for their actions.”

Through their reporting, journalists can give a voice to the voiceless, shed light on environmental injustices, and inspire action towards a sustainable future. As Paul Shalala’s work exemplifies, “Through our reporting, we can give a voice to the voiceless, shed light on environmental injustices, and inspire action towards a sustainable future.”

Overall, Paul Shalala’s journey into environmental advocacy and reporting is a testament to the critical role of journalists in environmental advocacy. By connecting the dots between local events and broader ecological trends, informing public opinion, and influencing policy decisions, journalists like Paul are educating and mobilizing action to address some of our time’s most pressing environmental issues.

The UK Parliament has approved a bill that allows the British government to deport some migrants to Rwanda. The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has been pushing for this legislation, requiring judges to consider Rwanda a safe third country. The British government is hoping to deport thousands of migrants who have arrived in the country in recent years, many of whom have fled wars and poverty in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The deportation flights are set to begin in July. To gain more insight into this, VOA’s Paul Ndiho spoke to Yasmine Ahmed, the UK director at Human Rights Watch, via Skype.

The US Congress approved $95 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel, and other US allies over the weekend. This move comes after months of resistance from hard-right lawmakers, but both Democrats and Republicans came together to support renewed American aid in repelling Russia’s invasion. The bill also contains a provision to force the sale of the popular app TikTok. However, passing the bill through the House may result in House Speaker Mike Johnson losing his position. VOA’s Paul Ndiho joins me live from Capitol Hill.

In February, the House narrowly voted to impeach Mayorkas, alleging that he refused to enforce immigration laws. However, Mayorkas has maintained that he is focused on his department’s work.
