Christiana "Chris" Anyanwu MFR (born 28 October 1951) is a Nigerian journalist, publisher, author, and politician. She was imprisoned from 1995 to 1998 for treason after reporting on a failed coup d'état against the government of Sani Abacha, and won several international journalism prizes during her confinement, including the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize. Believing that she could make more of an impact in politics than in journalism, Anyanwu ran for office and was elected Senator for the Imo East (Owerri) constituency in 2007. ==Early life and career== Anyanwu was born in Mbaise, Imo State.〔 She attended Owerri Girls Secondary School before moving to the US, where she obtained a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and a Master's degree in Mass Communication from the University of Missouri and Florida State University respectively.〔 After graduating, she returned to Nigeria, and worked for the NTA and the Imo Broadcasting Corporation as a news reader and reporter.〔 In 1987, she was appointed Imo State commissioner for Information, Youth, Sports, Culture and Social Welfare under Imo governor Amadi Ikwechegh. Following her tenure as commissioner, Anyanwu became publisher/editor-in-chief of ''TSM'' ''(The Sunday Magazine)'', a weekly publication which focused on political issues as they affected the country. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chris Anyanwu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
