Wole Arisekola Becomes Chairman of Online Media Practitioners in Nigeria

Wole Arisekola, Publisher of The Street Journal Magazine, with headquarters in Dublin, Republic of Ireland and former Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Europe Chapter, NUJE, was on Thursday named the Chairman of the Association of Online Media Practitioners of Nigeria.
Mr. Arisekola who started the popular magazine over a decade ago, has always stood for truth, unbiased reporting and fairness in the line of journalism.
The Street Journal Magazine found its way into the online genre of journalism and became an instant favourite as it made its mark as a celebrity investigative journal . Apart from celebrating achievers; it has also greatly lent a voice to the cries of the needy, the disadvantaged and often neglected people in the society.


Very active in his pursuit of a better existence for humanity, Wole Arisekola set up The Street Journal Forum, through which he pays school fees for indigent children, assists widows with funding for their businesses and puts youths in for vocational training.
With his background, one would easily assume and conclude that he has no reason to ‘align’ himself or his business with the masses, but interestingly, he proved to be different. Everything he does is guided and inspired by the burning desire that Nigeria can definitely and would still be a better place to live in.
The Ibadan born journalist promises to see to it that online media establishes sanity in how news is disseminated.
‘We are determined to help in putting a lot of sanity into news reportage. We would ensure that members of this association are not only men and women who have a flair for the media, they are actually men and women who have carved a niche for themselves in the world of journalism. Our members are men and women who are committed to bringing out the truth in their reportage. Our members are respected people in the media world generally, not only online media. We are poised to putting a lot of sanity into online media.
Issues such as plagiarism, writing without giving credit and writing without investigating stories will soon become a thing of the past", he said in Abuja when he hosted press men for a briefing on his new appointment.
To assist in the task before him is a seasoned journalist, Adeola Agoro. Adeola once worked as Editorial Executive, Hints Magazine, Reporter/ Researcher (The News/ Tempo Magazines), columnist in all of P.M News, Tribune Newspapers, This Day (Gllitterati), and Trumpet of London. She also worked as correspondent for Radio Canada after which she went on to become the Society Editor of The Comet and later The Nation Newspaper.
