Sunday Dare is the former general editor of two of Nigeria's weekly newsmagazines, The News and Tempo. Some of his reports drew the wrath of Nigeria's military dictators, including a nationwide manhunt for him, which he has described in his memoir, Guerilla Journalism: Dispatches from the Underground. Dare was part of the Center for Public Integrity/International Consortium of Investigative Journalists team which produced Making a Killing: The Business of War, winner of the 2003 Sigma Delta Chi award for investigative reporting online (independent). He has been a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University and in 2001 received a citation for courage from the Committee to Protect Journalists for his work in Nigeria. Currently he is the head of Voice of America’s Hausa Service, which produces three 30-minute programs for broadcast each day to a region that has one of the single largest Muslim populations in Africa. He is also currently working to establish a Nigerian Center for Investigative Journalism. A member of U.S.-based Investigative Reporters and Editors, for years Dare has trained journalists in Nigeria about investigative reporting.
