Celebrated investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has earned international acclaim for his groundbreaking project that fuses investigative journalism with gaming technology.
The recognition was announced at the Floodlight Gaming Connects Investigative Reporting event, where Anas's project was hailed as a pioneering model of storytelling innovation. The initiative transforms real-life investigative cases into interactive gaming experiences, allowing users to engage with stories of corruption, human rights abuses, and environmental crimes in a dynamic and immersive way.
Judges at the event commended the project for its forward-thinking approach, describing it as a powerful example of how journalism can evolve to capture the attention of younger, tech-savvy audiences.
The project’s success was made possible through the support of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and other donor partners. Their financial and technical contributions were instrumental in bringing the idea to life and establishing it as a global benchmark in investigative storytelling.
Speaking on the recognition, Anas expressed both pride and responsibility:
“Investigative journalism must never stand still. With gaming, we have a new tool to bring truth to life and empower the next generation to demand accountability.”
This international recognition not only cements Anas’s status as one of Africa’s leading investigative journalists but also places him at the forefront of innovation at the intersection of media, technology, and social impact.
