There were deep dive panels into Media Sustainability and Independence, Information Integrity between regulators and digital platforms, and a forward-looking exploration of Artificial Intelligence's impact on our information spaces. The summit continues today by shifting its focus toward the practical and social drivers of African discourse, featuring sessions on election preparedness, the role of youth in safeguarding truth, and the vital importance of linguistic diversity in media representation. #PanAfricanMediaSummit2026

The #PanAfricanMediaSummit2026 officially launched, bringing together visionary leaders to address the shifting landscape of African journalism and information integrity. Here are the key highlights from our opening session: On Accountability & Evolution “The media ecosystem has evolved rapidly, and the integrity of information is now at stake. That is why we are gathered here today to demand accountability.”— David Omwoyo, CEO, Media Council of Kenya (MCK) On Empowerment & Narrative “An informed society is an empowered society. The media has exposed corruption, mobilized responses to crises, and projected African excellence to the world. A positive media builds public confidence, celebrates our entrepreneurship, and expands our sense of what is possible.”— H.E. Dr. Workneh Gebeyehu, Executive Secretary, IGAD secretariat On Safety & Inclusion “This summit offers a chance to diagnose challenges in our information spaces. Women face disproportionate challenges in the media, including sexual harassment. We must enhance the safety of our media environments.”— Dr. James Asante Kwaku, RTI Commission Ghana On Democracy & Development “Safeguarding information integrity is essential to protecting democracy, human rights, and sustainable development.”— H.E. Henk Jan Bakker, Ambassador of the Netherlands to Kenya. Follow the Summit live here: https://lnkd.in/dUZPAzAH #MediaIntegrity #PressFreedom
