The ongoing travail of the New York Times freelance journalist, Jeffrey Moyo and award-winning journalist, Hopewell Chin’ono in the hands of Zimbabwean authorities is emblematic of the continued crackdown on the media reinforced by two obnoxious laws: The Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA) and the Public Order and Security Act (POSA). Instead of looking backward at all the problems that have plagued the media in Zimbabwe, join us to highlight initiatives, projects, and individuals that are actively countering the gloom and doom of African journalism — and succeeding. This solution-oriented approach to journalism practice will be the focus of a daylong conference for journalists, media professionals, scholars, and policy makers. Themed “Solutions Journalism: African Media and What Works”, the conversation is part of CMPI’s Media Educational Development Initiatives for Africa (M-E-D-IA). It’s a free event for all. However, registration is required.
