Tchadoblog

The Bloggers Association Chad (Association des Blogueurs au Tchad) and Voice4Thought initiated Tchadoblog: Telling the story of Chad differently in 2022. The project aimed to promote blogging and depolarizing the narrative in Chad, offering an alternative to the so-called ‘bad buzz’ publications – sensational reports often based on ‘fake news’ circulating on social media, but also in traditional media and the public domain.

Workshops on writing in depolarizing ways were held in N’djamena, with follow-ups online.

Tchadoblog came to an end in early 2023, giving rise to the Bon Buzz project. Bon Buzz continued the focus on blogging as a tool for counter-narratives, encouraging participants to rethink both how they tell stories and which subjects they address, with the aim of contributing to a more nuanced and depolarised narrative.
