Who
we
are
We founded Tanzania Reports in 2012 and are indebted to our lead
strategists, for instilling an appreciation of a lasting belief that
communication is a crucial tool for change. Tanzania Reports
covers in depth stories of the region from people’s perspectives.
Our business has non-profit and for-profit components: As a
regional service, we publish a free website on the challenges of
our time. At Tanzania Reports, we also offer content licensing and
syndication services to newspapers and magazines, companies
and international organizations. Tanzania Reports has developed
projects on the site that offer weekly features focused on helping
readers get ready for the job market of the 21st century.
Tanzania Reports is owned and run by REPORTS GROUP LTD based
in Dar es Salaam, through a group of committed journalists.
The Dar es Salaam team is supported by a network of editorial
Advisers based for the most part in the rest of the country and the
region in Africa. The editorial Advisers are drawn from diverse
backgrounds, including journalism, among others. They have been
selected to provide direct access to the three main linguistic blocs
of English and Swahili and Fresh coming up soon. The journalists
have a proven track record in development journalism.
The team’s structure enables detailed and reliable coverage of
most of the country and the region. Needless to say, all Tanzania
Reports staff shares an unwavering commitment to three things:
the region, integrity, and clients' needs. The TR headquarters are
situated in Dar es Salaam .Four editorial desks (in Dar es Salaam,
Arusha, Mwanza and Mbeya) coordinate the network of journal-
ists around the country, and beyond the borders in the region.
Most of TR’s journalists and editors are native to the region in
which they are working.

Our
background
Our
approach
Our
services
Tanzania Reports was set up in 2012 as a non-profit national coop-
erative of journalists who focus on modernization that has signifi-
cant attention to rural areas. Its founders are journalists who
wanted to fill a gap in local media content .While the aim was to
cover important sectors that would influence the region in a few
years to come, the main editorial focus is to fill the existing gap of
rural coverage content in mainstream media.
TR aims to give prominence to the voices of those in rural areas
and urban, with focus on social systems and growth of private
sector as a priority.
In order to reach this aim, TR aims to produce well-researched
features and reports that give background information, and cover-
ing processes rather than events. Like we pledge-‘beyond episodic
reporting’.
Traditional and new media among others are among TR's client
base. For individuals, the daily news service is available online in
English and Swahili.
Apart from its news services, TR provides training for journalists
and is involved in project partnerships with other organizations.
Our role in the mediascape is to play a significant part in shaping
the modern media and their news, through policy and innovation.
We also want to raise awareness about less "newsworthy" areas
and subjects in some cases.
We believe in citizenry being involved in their systems as the back-
bone of longer –term sustainable development.v

What
we do
Tanzania Reports has established itself as a leading provider of
reports beyond episodic reporting under its banner-TANZANIA
REPORTS .The outlet reports about sustainability, and as a
regional communication platform for development issues. For the
first two years of its existence, its focus is on development stories,
including initiatives that break fresh ground, whether in rural or
urban areas. The aspect of democratizing media space is very
important here.
The regional Service covers the entire country coupled with cross
border analysis that focuses on countries in the region and the rest
of Africa and it's produced in English and Swahili. The daily output
is around 5 news features, making it 100 features per month and
news analyses. Selected stories are translated into Kiswahili.
We focus on the developing regions of the globe, but within the
context of fair and responsible aspects of globalisation and its
impacts.
Tanzania’s and the rest of Africa's future prosperity will be secured
by private investment. Companies can succeed, even in the most
challenging markets, without compromising their ethics. Our aim
is to tell our clients as much about us and our processes as possi-
ble, so that we may be honestly evaluated.
In other departments at TR, our clients deserve transparent
pricing. You should see exactly what you are paying for.
