[excerpt]

After a recent conference on media and corruption in Cameroon, 11 journalists formed the Media Network Against Corruption (MENAC), according to local news ...

Civil Initiatives for Development with Integrity, an NGO based in Limbe, Cameroon, organized the conference from October 19 to 21. The gathering featured lively discussion on how the local news media tend to overlook government corruption, the English-language Post newspaper reported.

MENAC intends to challenge corruption both in the press and in the government. These efforts will begin with a new Web site, which will publicize cases of corruption. The conference trainers used the three days to show the journalists ways to challenge the government through in-depth, objective reporting.

The new forum hopes to fight the apathetic attitude toward corruption in Cameroon by publicly exposing those who practice it.
