Dr Akin Olaniyan, Editor-in-Chief of Anchor News Online, has said the platform is designed to shape conversations on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in hiring, remote work, employment policies, labour law, and the future of people management.
Olaniyan, in a statement on Monday, said that the newly launched digital newspaper platform is dedicated to Human Resources (HR) news, analysis, and workforce trends.
He stated that the online platform, âwww.anchornews.ngâ, would deliver timely, in-depth journalism tailored to HR professionals, business leaders, policymakers, and job seekers across Nigeria and Africa.
âAnchor News Online fills a critical gap in Africaâs media landscape by providing specialised, data-rich HR coverage. Weâre not just reporting news; weâre shaping conversations on AI in hiring, remote work, employment policies, labour law, and the future of people management.
âThrough a blend of daily news reports and investigative features, Anchor News Online aims to keep readers informed on evolving workplace dynamics, regulatory changes, and employment trends.
âIts editorial vision goes beyond headlines, offering data-driven content such as industry reports, white papers, and salary benchmarking tools that help professionals make strategic decisions.
âThe platform will also feature in-depth analysis of workplace issues, leadership challenges, and talent management strategies, establishing itself as a hub for thought leadership,â he said.
Olaniyan emphasised Anchor Newsâ commitment to transparency and advocacy.
He said the platform would regularly publish investigative reports on labor rights violations, unethical workplace practices, and corporate misconduct.
This, he said, would bring much-needed accountability to the world of work.
He added, âRecognising the importance of career growth, the newspaper offers actionable advice for job seekers and professionals, from productivity tips to guidance on job transitions and upskilling.
âCoverage also extends to HR technology, reviewing innovative software, AI tools, and automation trends reshaping the workplace. Crucially, the platform encourages community participation through user-generated content, offering HR professionals a space to share their experiences, solutions, and challenges, promoting peer learning and professional solidarity.â

Itâs a much-needed hub for the HR community.
