In five years, HumAngle has become a powerhouse for truth seekers, journalists, and storytellers who dare to ask the hard questions. As we mark our anniversary, here is how far we have come and how far we are willing to go. #HumAngleAt5

A HumAngle Investigation is coming. In the words of our Investigations Editor, Ibrahim Adeyemi (@ibrahim_adey), who has read this investigation repeatedly, it is a historical masterpiece for anyone interested in understanding Nigeria's scourge with insurgency. #TheBHarmy

Journalists are trained not to pay sources because it could risk distortion and affect credibility, but what happens when the people you are interviewing live in destitute conditions? @A_Salkida spoke to journalists in Nigeria about their experience with this ethical conundrum. He also spoke to journalism teachers. humanglemedia.com/ethics-under-f…

The Nigerian military appears to have adapted under pressure and recalibrated aspects of its doctrine, and, in key moments, helped reverse trajectories that once pointed toward state collapse. Here is a visual of its gains over the past decade. humanglemedia.com/inside-the-nig…

In one of the world’s most deprived and volatile regions, HumAngle’s reporting and experience reveal that journalists in Nigeria are not just observing suffering but are pulled into it as they try to report it. Consequently, they say, they find themselves paying out of pocket to feed the people whose stories they are trying to tell. humanglemedia.com/ethics-under-f…
