Dear Reader,
It’s almost been a year since our lives were thrown into disarray by the coronavirus pandemic.
Just like other newsrooms, the pandemic forced us to alter how we operate including how we cover community issues. Apart from focusing primarily on the pandemic and its fallout in local communities, we also learnt how journalism could be more powerful if it’s audience-driven.
Following this reinvention, we’re happy that the bold changes we adopted are bearing fruits in many ways in our newsroom and the community we serve.
Did you know that The Citizen Bulletin is the only local newsroom that produces in-depth hyperlocal reporting and analysis for the greater region of Matabeleland? When others focus on breaking news and daily reporting, we focus on producing community-centred stories with rigor and nuance.
It’s an unpopular and costly form of journalism but we know it's the kind you need to make informed decisions about your lives and your communities.
We recently experienced the power of rigorous hyperlocal reporting when our story about the community’s lack of access to vital documentation in Lupane prompted a timely intervention by the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights. We are dedicated to doing more of this kind of reporting, but we need your support.
By joining our WhatsApp broadcast community, you help us make journalism more inclusive, more interactive and more accessible. You also enable us to build deeper meaningful relationships with you so that we produce more community-centred reporting that better serves you.
Would you spare a few minutes to WhatsApp the word ‘JOIN’ to +263 7 18636460 and be part of our growing community? If you’re already a member of our community, would you be kind enough to invite your friends and family to join us? Together we can build the news our fledgling democracy needs.
Sincerely, 
Divine Dube
Editorial Director
