Request a demoHello, my name is Yidnekachew Lemma. I’m a seasoned TV journalist and film producer based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with over 10 years of hands-on experience in the audio-visual and film production industry. Throughout my career, I’ve led and contributed to a wide range of creative and impactful projects - News stories, documentaries, feature films, television dramas, commercials, local TV shows, and radio ads bringing compelling stories to life across multiple formats. My journalism portfolio includes feature stories and news coverage for globally respected media outlets such as Al Jazeera, CNN, BBC, CGTN, VOA, TRTWorld, DW, AP, and Reuters. I currently work as a stringer TV correspondent for Associated Press, CGTN and Al-Jazeera Media Network, covering major developments across Ethiopia and the East African region. In addition to media production and journalism, I also offer professional live-streaming services for a variety of events, including conferences, concerts, sports, and corporate functions. With a strong technical team and reliable broadcasting equipment, I ensure seamless and high-quality live coverage tailored to each client’s needs. With a passion for storytelling and a deep understanding of the media landscape, I specialize in producing high-quality, audience-driven content that educates, engages, and inspires-bridging cultures and perspectives for both local and international audiences.
