Episode Synopsis

Welcome to the debut episode of Panel 54, where real power meets real perspective. Hosts Waweru Njoroge, a seasoned Kenyan journalist media disruptor and strategist, and Ndu Okoh, a fearless cultural critic, media maven and journalist take you beyond the headlines into the heart of Africa’s most urgent conversations.
In this first episode, they unpack the rise and fall of media trust in Africa. Is journalism still holding power to account, or just amplifying whoever pays? With legendary author, writer and journalist Khainga O’Okwemba, they explore how commercial pressure, collapsing credibility, and foreign influence, especially now from China, are reshaping what we read, watch, and believe.
The street has something to say too, and the answers might surprise you
Lagos to Lamu. Cape Town to Cairo. This is Panel 54, a global perspective through an African lens.
