It provides a reflective space for media professionals\, academics\, policymakers\, and civil society to examine the media’s role in shaping and sustaining democratic ideals on the continent. \nOrganized by the Africa Media Development Foundation (AMDF)\, the Lecture Series is envisioned as a growing compendium of thought leadership and dialogue. AMDF believes that the series will not only help media practitioners find direction in a rapidly changing landscape\, but also contribute meaningfully to the broader body of knowledge on media\, democracy\, and development. \nThe theme for the 2025 edition is: “Journalism in Turbulent Times: Navigating Through the Pressures.”This theme reflects the increasing complexities and challenges facing journalism today — from political interference\, economic constraints\, and technological disruption\, to threats against press freedom and journalist safety. \nThe 2025 lecture will explore how journalists can remain resilient\, uphold ethical standards\, and continue to serve the public interest amidst these mounting pressures. \n\n\nTo register for participation click here https://forms.gle/C3jvq11uqV5NYJcZ9 URL:https://amdf-centre.org/event/7th-bagauda-kaltho-media-lecture/ LOCATION:Online/Zoom CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amdf-centre.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/7Th-Kaltho-Lecture-Poster.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Africa Media Development Foundation":MAILTO:coordinator@amdf-centre.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Lagos:20201117T080000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Lagos:20201119T170000 DTSTAMP:20200513T161443Z CREATED:20200219T153300Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200513T161443Z UID:6264-1605600000-1605805200@amdf-centre.org SUMMARY:4th Africa Conference on Development Journalism DESCRIPTION:Africa Conference on Development Journalism (ACDJ) is an Annual Media Conference\, organised and hosted  by Africa Media Development Foundation (AMDF)\, to serve as avenue for exchange ideas in addressing current and emerging issues facing Development Journalism.
