World Press Freedom Day and the increased risks of journalism in Africa

World Press Freedom Day was a chance to take stock of some of the continent's success stories. The Seychelles is one of the rare African countries where most journalists are women. Elsewhere, the profession still poses life-threatening risks. Also, there are calls for the government in Congo Brazzaville to do more to identify and support those suffering from mental illness. It's a neglected issue across the continent and the fallout can have devastating consequences. And we head to Benin to hear from some of the companies prioritising the environmental and social well-being of their employees and customers over profit.
