When I was studying journalism, the lesson that I grasped the most, and which is the pillar of this industry, is that the media is there to inform, educate and entertain.

Questions have also been asked about whether we are still relevant and still have a role to play. I would boldly say yes to both.
I mean mentally because you will be called all things under the sun, including having your parentage called into question. And that’s not just from the players on the field. What about the spectators?
