The Stories that Never Get Told
A health crisis unfolds in silence, not because it isn't newsworthy, but because the journalist and the community don't speak the same language.
A whistleblower stays quiet, afraid their story won't be heard safely.
Across Nigeria, this is the reality.
NewsBridge changes it.
Through AI translation across Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, and English, NewsBridge creates a direct, secure bridge between citizens and journalists.
No barriers. No middlemen. No voices ignored.
Starting in Nigeria — and expanding across Africa — we're building the future of inclusive journalism.
