He was a co-founder of the Nigerian Newswatch magazine in the mid-1980s. In an unusual sequence, Next first appeared as a "tweet" on Twitter in December 2008. Two weeks later the website went live, and the print edition first appeared on 4 January 2009.A welcome message from Olojede in the first edition said: "NEXT is launched now to provide news and informed opinion fairly and accurately to the Nigerian public in any land, based on the best judgment of the editors, and in a way that serves the public purpose and is compatible with the demands of an open and democratic society." It went on to say the newspaper would be delivered through a variety of media including print, internet, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and so on. In 2011, Dele Olojede was awarded the John P. McNulty Prize for founding NEXT. The McNulty Prize is available to Fellows of the Aspen Institute who have created a project to solve pressing social problems using innovative entrepreneurial techniques. Next ceased publication in September 2011. (en)
