Akwasi wants to make an alternative news with Omroep Zwart. The rapper thinks it is NOS News does not paint a complete picture of the news in the world. He tells that on Thursday evening Jinek.
“I want an addition to the journal, with the working title for now: Journal on Black. In it we show worlds within the Netherlands that you normally don’t see. “
As an example, Akwasi mentions the number of correspondents of the NOS in Africa. “Did you know that the NOS has two correspondents for 45 countries in Africa. That’s crazy and we want to change that, because our editorial team consists of the world.”
Jinek is especially curious how Akwasi plans to set up a news organization such as NOS in a short time, since hundreds of people work there. “Practically impossible”, she says, but Akwasi takes a different view. “We need expertise and I’ve been scouting for that for years.”
The rapper thinks that “after 30 years it still goes wrong” in the field of diversity at the NPO because editorial staff and key positions are “not mixed enough”. He wants to change that with his own broadcaster. “I appreciate the efforts of the NPO, but there is room for improvement and that is why we are now trying to do this with Omroep Zwart.”
