Peter K.

I am a journalist, author, researcher, part-time university lecturer and a PhD candidate with over 15 years of journalism and media management expertise under my belt. My 15-year career culminated in my rise to the senior position of Chief Sub Editor from 2009 to 2012, before branching off to do my studies in Logistics, transport and Trade facilitation. I have also been contributing copy to the United States based Pan African Vision Newspaper, the Port Strategy (Logistics and Transport) Newspaper in Britain and the Chartered Institute of logistics and Transport (CILT) monthly bulletin exploring various topics and challenges in logistics and transport. I am author of Rumour of an Angel, one of the 2017 Amazon best sellers and another book Trade, Investment and African Society - a collection of my articles written over period of two years on China ‘s Investment interest in Africa and the implications of such cooperation. United States based Professor and former university chancellor, Thomas Chromwell, early this year nominated me in the United States of America, as a candidate for the 2021 International Center for Journalists Knight International (ICFJ) Journalism Award. The prestigious Knight International Journalism Award is a tribute to Journalists whose pioneering coverage or media innovations have made an impact on the lives of people in their countries or regions. I am currently Vice President of the Zambia Association of Junior Researchers (ZAJR) and also co-founder and executive Editor of Cross Border Magazine - a monthly - Pan African publication whose objectives, among others, are to raise awareness of the various issues affecting the Pan African region through Research and policy engagements within the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and the East African Community (EAC). This gives me the confidence to play a key role in providing sharp, insightful editorial leadership and accommodating a diverse range of views and innovation to stimulate constructive and valuable perspectives within any projects and beyond.
