It will be held at the University of Nairobi and will be open to all African Youths. The event aims to engage young digital natives and find out what their thoughts are on the state of African media. The theme of the event will be:</p> <h3>'What is the Youth's Place in African Media'</h3> <p>The youth of Africa are powerful and are the promise of the continent's future. They have a lot to say but due to cultural norms and fear of rejection or judgment, many of them remain silent. Some are brave enough to speak up but alone they cannot speak for all of Africa's youth. The youth are skillfully adept at all things tech and social media, with many of them having some kind of digital or online presence. The 2024 AllAfrica Public Youth Debate, which will be named The Digizens' Circle: Young Africa Speaks, aims to harness this and use it to gain the opinions of our youth. To aid this experience, the debate will make use of various digital tools and each youth participant will need to bring a smartphone. Register now and join us in the first edition of this exciting event.</p> </div> <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-md-6"> <div class="img-wrapper"> <img class="img-fluid" src="https://allafricamediasummit.africa/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/AMLS-YOUNG-AFRICA-SM-POST-2-3.jpg" alt="identity"> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-6 bg-light d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center"> <div class="card h-auto"> <h3>Digizens' Circle Registration</h3> <p class="designation width-80 ml-0 mt-0"><em></em></p> <div class="content"> <div class="wpcf7 no-js" id="wpcf7-f650-o2" lang="en-US" dir="ltr" data-wpcf7-id="650"> <div class="screen-reader-response"><p role="status" aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true"></p> <ul></ul></div> <form action="/#wpcf7-f650-o2" method="post" class="wpcf7-form init" aria-label="Contact form" novalidate="novalidate" data-status="init"> <div style="display: none;"> <input type="hidden" name="_wpcf7" value="650" /> <input type="hidden" name="_wpcf7_version" value="6.0.3" /> <input type="hidden" name="_wpcf7_locale" value="en_US" /> <input type="hidden" name="_wpcf7_unit_tag" value="wpcf7-f650-o2" /> <input type="hidden" name="_wpcf7_container_post" value="0" /> <input type="hidden" name="_wpcf7_posted_data_hash" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="_wpcf7_recaptcha_response" value="" /> </div> <div class="form-row"> <div class="col-6"> <p><label>First Name</label><br /> <span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap" data-name="f-name"><input size="40" maxlength="400" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text form-control" aria-invalid="false" placeholder="First Name" value="" type="text" name="f-name" /></span> </p> </div> <div class="col-6"> <p><label>Surname</label><br /> <span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap" data-name="s-name"><input size="40" maxlength="400" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text form-control" aria-invalid="false" placeholder="Surname" value="" type="text" name="s-name" /></span> </p> </div> </div> <div class="form-row"> <div class="col-5"> <p><label>DOB</label><br /> <span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap" data-name="dob"><input class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-date wpcf7-validates-as-date form-control" aria-invalid="false" value="" type="date" name="dob" /></span> </p> </div> <div class="col-7"> <p><label>Email</label><br /> <span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap" data-name="y-email"><input size="40" maxlength="400" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-email form-control" aria-required="true" aria-invalid="false" placeholder="Email" value="" type="email" name="y-email" /></span> </p> </div> </div> <div class="form-row"> <div class="col-12"> <p><label>Gender</label><br /> <span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap" data-name="gender"><span class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-radio"><span class="wpcf7-list-item first"><label><input type="radio" name="gender" value="Male" checked="checked" /><span class="wpcf7-list-item-label">Male</span></label></span><span class="wpcf7-list-item"><label><input type="radio" name="gender" value="Female" /><span class="wpcf7-list-item-label">Female</span></label></span><span class="wpcf7-list-item last"><label><input type="radio" name="gender" value="Other" /><span class="wpcf7-list-item-label">Other</span></label></span></span></span> </p> </div> </div> <div class="form-row"> <div class="col-6"> <p><label>Country</label><br /> <span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap" data-name="country"><input size="40" maxlength="400" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text form-control" aria-invalid="false" placeholder="Country" value="" type="text" name="country" /></span> </p> </div> <div class="col-6"> <p><label>City</label><br /> <span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap" data-name="city"><input size="40" maxlength="400" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text form-control" aria-invalid="false" placeholder="City" value="" type="text" name="city" /></span> </p> </div> </div> <div class="form-row"> <div class="col-6"> <p><label>Occupation</label><br /> <span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap" data-name="occupation"><input size="40" maxlength="400" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text form-control" aria-invalid="false" placeholder="Occupation" value="" type="text" name="occupation" /></span> </p> </div> <div class="col-6"> <p><label>Institution</label><br /> <span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap" data-name="institution"><input size="40" maxlength="400" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text form-control" aria-invalid="false" placeholder="Institution" value="" type="text" name="institution" /></span> </p> </div> </div> <div class="form-row"> <div class="col-12"> <p><small>Please note that this is a public debate/conversation and as such it will be recorded and may be publicised.

A key moment of the Summit was the allAfrica Excellence Awards where over 20 people were celebrated including 11 lifetime awards and an African Titan Award for leadership in African development was bestowed upon Dr Akinwumi Adesina. </span></p> </div> <a href class="btn mb-4" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#readmore">Read More</a> <p><strong>Apply for your $250,000 media grant now:</strong><br> <a href="https://opencall.ifpim.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" previewlistener="true"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-725" src="https://allafricamediasummit.africa/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Logo-1-300x83.png" alt="" width="300" height="83" srcset="https://allafricamediasummit.africa/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Logo-1-300x83.png 300w, https://allafricamediasummit.africa/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Logo-1-1024x283.png 1024w, https://allafricamediasummit.africa/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Logo-1-768x212.png 768w, https://allafricamediasummit.africa/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Logo-1.png 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px"></a></p> </div> <div class="modal fade more-content" id="readmore" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="modelTitleId" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-lg bg-transparent border-0 rounded-0" role="document"> <div class="modal-content bg-transparen border-0 rounded-0"> <div class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><i class="fas fa-times"></i> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <h4 class="faded-title">About</h4> <h2 class="title">About the Summit</h2> <p>The 2024 AllAfrica Media Leaders’ Summit brought together <strong>over 300 African media owners and operators</strong>, government officials, corporate leaders, academics, civil society champions, and development partners to discuss the business of media and the critical role it must play in shaping Africa’s future. Economic and human development, social progress, peace, security, and responsible, effective governance cannot flourish without fair, accurate and reliable information dissemination in the digital era. The theme for the 2024 Summit was <strong>Re-engineering African Media in Times of Critical Transformation.</strong></p> <p>Africa, like the rest of the world, is now experiencing new and powerful technology such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics and automation on uncensored digital platforms as well as runaway global strategic <strong>misinformation and disinformation</strong> campaigns that influence what happens in all spheres of life, including economic, social and cultural progress. At this time AllAfrica believes that it is imperative and urgent to ensure African media gets ahead of the game in terms of sustainability, relevance and impact that will enable the media to express, protect and embed <strong>African narratives</strong>.</p> <p>This important initiative aims to support media practitioners through an era of rapid change and constant technological disruption, with the world as we knew it pre-covid, morphing into a new reality in a context marked by the scourge of <strong>disinformation and misinformation</strong>. African media leaders need to discuss and share new skills and business models as well as gain enhanced contextual knowledge and structures to support and shape Africa’s future – all whilst strengthening the continent’s collective efforts towards <strong>African Integration</strong> and <strong>economic progress</strong> in line with the UN SDGs and agenda 2030: the Africa we want.</p> <p>Digitization advances as well as constant developments and innovations in technology have resulted in a landscape of boundless access to information and the democratization of the media space. However, an unfortunate result has been an increase in the scourge of <strong>misinformation and disinformation</strong> in the media and an erosion of the traditional <strong>media business models.</strong></p> <p>With these drastic changes in the way media operates, along with the attendant effects on public trust and the development of new audiences, it is critical to bring together all the key media stakeholders to network, dialogue and learn from the media business forerunners, as the media space will never be the same again. Life as we knew it will never be the same….and nor should it be. How prepared are the key players? Does African media have the will, the tools and the funding to counter disinformation and build new business models to maintain a resilient, dynamic, and engaged media on the continent?</p> <p>The AllAfrica Media Leaders’ Summit will be held in May 2024 in Nairobi, Kenya showcasing its diverse and vibrant media landscape. The event format featured a mix of keynotes, panels, open-floor discussions and workshops along with powerful networking platforms and events. The Summit agenda revolved around 6 key pillars:</p> <p><strong>– African Economic Transformation</strong></p> <p><strong>– AI, Technology and Digitization</strong></p> <p><strong>– Regional Integration and Peace Building</strong></p> <p><strong>– Misinformation and Disinformation</strong></p> <p><strong>– Governance, Standards, and Capacity Building</strong></p> <p><strong>– Creating Sustainable Business Models</strong></p> <p>One of the key moments of the Summit will be the Heads of States’ roundtable, an invaluable and unique engagement. The Summit will be preceded by a youth challenge in the form of a competition designed to develop innovations for the newsrooms of the future.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-6 d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="img-wrapper"> <a href="https://allafrica.com/stories/202405100484.html" target="_blank"> <img class="img-fluid w-100" src="https://allafricamediasummit.africa/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/dr-akinwumi-adesina-delivers-keynote-address-at-the-all-africas-media-summit_53708263847_o-scaled.jpg"> </a> </div> <iframe class="d-none" width="100%" height="450" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9e3ag7MROy8?autoplay=0" title="Amls Video Embed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> </div> </section> <section class="who-we-are" data-scroll-index="3" id="aboutallafrica"> <div class="width-90"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-5 d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="content"> <h2 class="title">About AllAfrica</h2> <p class="sub-title"></p> <div class="card-text"><p>AllAfrica is a voice of, by and about Africa – aggregating, producing, and distributing news and information from over 130 African news organizations and our own reporters to an African and global public.

As we explore sustainable business models, our focus must be broad yet precise.
