Our Legacy
Preserving a Legacy, Empowering the Future
Chanco News carries forward a legacy of student journalism at the University of Malawi that dates back to the 1970s. This legacy is not only historical but also deeply transformational. Through the process of reporting and publishing, students learn to speak up, think critically, take initiative, and engage meaningfully with society. With its growing social media following and an increasingly prominent role in shaping campus discourse, Chanco News continues to serve as a vital platform for youth empowerment and public engagement.

Bridging the Internship Gap
One of the programme’s most important contributions is its ability to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry experience. In Malawi, where internship opportunities are limited, many students graduate without ever gaining practical exposure to a newsroom environment.
Chanco News fills this gap by offering valuable, real-world experience that is not typically covered in formal classroom settings. Students are introduced to advanced digital publishing techniques that prepare them to meet the evolving needs of the modern job market.
