S2 #6: Securing a sustainable future for journalism as a public good.

Great journalism needs good journalists. Few would argue with this statement. The media world is currently preoccupied with the challenge of sustaining good journalism and the Global Forum for Media Development (GFMD) is no exception. GFMD is an international network of journalism support and media development organisations intent on securing a sustainable future for journalism as a public good. For this to be realised, training excellence, newsroom diversity and the strong presence of women in the sector, are a given. #FreeSpeak host Gwen Lister discusses this and more with the director of the Namibia Media Trust and first African chairperson of the GFMD, Zoé Titus.

S2 #5: Access to Information – Lessons from the Covid era.

Access to information (ATI) is a topical issue. We’ve just celebrated the International Day for Universal Access to Information, and there’s finally an ATI Bill before Parliament years after the Action Namibia Coalition and others started work on the project with the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT) in 2016. So, there’s light at the end of the tunnel as it is set to become law. The Covid pandemic however has given even more impetus to the necessity of such access on the part of both citizens and journalists alike, given the predominance of disinformation around Covid measures in general and vaccines in particular. #FreeSpeak host Gwen Lister chats with Frederico Links, the chairperson of the Coalition, about the urgency of an ATI law in the prevailing circumstances.
