About Us

The PenPK.com was launched in January, 2022 as a platform for reporters whose efforts to cover ‘sensitive’ matters and topics seen as critical of the powers that be were being frustrated by legacy media outlets’ unwillingness to take risky stories.
Aside from providing a platform to reporters, The PenPK.com was also envisioned as a ‘safe space’ where journalists could share stories that they could not publish in their respective regions out of fear of reprisals.
The idea was to protect the freedom of speech by publishing critical, but merit-based stories while ensuringthe safety of journalists.
The PenPK.com aims to be a financially sustainable media outlet run with the efforts of a network of freelance journalists who are interested in covering topics of public interest.
