Twenty-four hour Pan-African news channel "Africa 24" launched in Paris, France on 11 May and is looking for African freelance journalists and other media and NGO professionals to contribute their work.

Africa 24 aims to offer a fresh look at Africa with all content written and produced by African journalists. It operates under the tagline: "...An Africa voice telling the African story."

The Pan-African coverage is intended to reach Africans around the world with positive, high-quality programming designed to change Africa’s image for the better. It also serves to give Africans a worldwide voice. The station also focuses on training and will bring new resources to local African media, according to its Web site.

Contributors will send their material to the main office in Nairobi, Kenya, where it will be verified, re-edited and published. African journalists receive 60 percent of the revenue generated by their story and own the copyright of their original work after it is published.
