to cover the World Economic Forum
për të ndjekur Forumin Ekonomik Botëror
for the first time.
për herë të parë.
that there was only one story in town.
se kish vetëm një ngjarje në qytet.
about what they were doing
rreth asaj që po bënin
with our line of questioning,
me linjën e pyetjeve tona,
our fair share of "alternative facts."
na takonte me "fakte alternative".
were telling us at the time
na thanë në atë kohë
the political situation in Nigeria.
situatën politike në Nigeri.

into the laptop
like myself, in the audience,
që si dhe unë, jeni prindër,
negotiation talks with Boko Haram.

in October last year.
tetorin e vitit të kaluar.
still remain missing.

about the wasted opportunities
për mundësitë e humbura
what the parents have told me,
më kanë thënë prindërit e tyre,
e të pasurve dhe të fuqishmëve,
of the rich and the powerful,
for the delay in their return.
së vonesës në kthimin e tyre.
the deadly danger of fake news.
të lajmit të rremë.
Google dhe Facebook,
to stop the spread of fake news.
të ndalojnë përhapjen e lajmeve të rreme.
everybody here -- you and I --
të gjithë këtu - ti dhe unë -
the stories online.
të gjithë jemi publikues,
por bëj pyetjet të vështira.
by sharing this information?
duke ndarë këtë informacion?
to ask tougher questions
të fillojmë të bëjmë pyetje më të ashpra
don't even read beyond headlines
as nuk lexojnë përtej titujve
that we discover at face value?
që zbulojmë me vlerë nominale?
about the consequence
rreth pasojave
violence or hatred?
dhunë apo urrejtje?
about the real-life consequences
rreth pasojave në jetën reale

Stephanie Busari moved to Lagos from London in July 2016 to pioneer CNN's first digital and multimedia bureau. She also reports on-air in breaking news situations for CNN International.
In April 2016 Busari exclusively obtained the "proof of life" video that showed that the missing Chibok schoolgirls who were kidnapped in Nigeria in 2014 were still alive. She was also an instrumental member of the CNN team that won a Peabody Award in May 2015 for the network's coverage of the missing girls. Busari recently won a Gracie Award for her persistence in covering this story, and she's also a previous recipient of the Outstanding Woman in the Media Awards.
Busari is a passionate community activist who curated TEDxBrixton for three years before she left London.

Over a 15-year career, Busari has worked as a news reporter, entertainment and features writer, court reporter and columnist, and she has been published in many of the UK and international media's most influential outlets, such as the BBC and Daily Mirror.
During a six-month stint in Northern Ireland in 2003, Busari spent time in some of the worst affected areas of "The Troubles" and secured interviews with a crucifixion victim, government ministers and paramilitaries. While there, she also launched and edited an award-winning lifestyle column.
A native Yoruba speaker, Busari also speaks fluent French and is currently learning Hausa.
