Ouagadougou: Journalist Charles Kiendrébéogo signed on Thursday his work entitled ‘I sketched the news on Radio Burkina’, a collection of 60 columns which denounce the bad habits of society while raising awareness among the populations .
‘I sketched the news on Radio Burkina’ is a collection of social chronicles by National Radio journalist Charles Kiendrébéogo, well known for his various chronicles on public radio. The 133-page work includes 60 chronicles broadcast between 2015 and 2017 on Radio Burkina.
‘Once citizens have listened to the radio reports, it’s over. We said to ourselves why not record them in a document for future generations,’ said journalist Charles Kiendrébéogo during the dedication ceremony of his work. According to him, the Burkinabè will be able to draw inspiration from it for their research work.
According to the author, his masterpiece could be useful to society because it raises awareness among the population about ‘sketched’, caricatured and amplified current events. The writer c
larified that this approach aims to draw the public’s attention to certain bad habits such as alcohol consumption and unsanitary conditions.
‘We did not edit these works like that, we tried to place them in their context, which allows us to relive the events in the country from 2015 to 2017,’ argued Charles Kiendrébéogo.
The Director General (DG) of Burkina Faso Television Broadcasting (RTB), Atéridar Galip Somé, for his part, congratulated the journalist-columnist for the work accomplished. According to him, Charles Kiendrébéogo showed courage and tenacity to take up the social chronicle after the death of his predecessor René Sébego.
The CEO of RTB noted that Mr. Kiendrébéogo was able to leave his mark through the chronicle through the strength of his work by giving it a second life thanks to the recording of certain productions in a work. ‘By deciding to produce volume 1 dedicated to this chronicle, the author allows the Burkinabè public to benefit from the benefits and advice conveyed through this work
,’ he added.
Mr. Somé also urged other RTB journalists to move towards this type of project which allows them to immortalize their time in the house. As a reminder, the journalist-columnist had put on the market a first work entitled ‘The fruits of the flowerless tree’.
