Decentralising media support for the world's majority

Descrizione

Amid disinformation, economic turmoil and state control of the free press, how do we shift power to independent newsrooms? How can the journalism community tear down structural barriers and support vibrant media ecosystems that are built ground up - and in service of their communities? Join our speakers from local newsrooms, and regional and global organisations, as they explore these critical questions during a historic moment for public interest media.
This event is set up as a series of short talks, with each conversation lasting 20 minutes, and continuing over drinks!
