What we cover for you

The desk takes on three kinds of work: news coverage of events and issues, community events we organise or cover, and commissioned reporting for organisations that need a story told properly. Each job is quoted per brief, invoiced before we start, and filed with a date and a byline. Ask for a quote.

• News CoverageFrom Ojodu to the world. We report events, issues and community matters as they happen, with a date and a byline on every file.
• Community Events and SeminarsWe organise and cover seminars for students against drugs and security talks for schools, estates and community groups, and report what was said.
• Commissioned ReportingFor organisations with a story to tell — a launch, an anniversary, an issue that needs proper reporting. Brief us and we will quote per job.

How a coverage request runs

You send the brief: what the event or issue is, the date, the place and the key names. We come back with a reporter, a price and a filing date in writing. You then get the report itself — dated, bylined and yours to use, with our corrections policy attached.

Payments, timelines and corrections

Payment terms are simple and the same for every client. We invoice after you accept the quote and before the work starts, and payment is by bank transfer to Ojodu Eye. The timeline we give you is in writing and we keep to it. Corrections are published and dated.

• When do I pay?After you accept the written quote and before the reporter goes out. Bank transfer to Ojodu Eye, with the invoice as your record.
• How long does a report take?Commissioned coverage is usually filed within a week of the event. Longer investigations are quoted with their own timeline in writing before we start.
• Can I ask for a correction?Yes. Point us to the name, figure or date you think is wrong and we will check it, correct it and date the correction on the report.
