\n

The Annual Bagauda Kaltho Media Lecture<\/strong> serves as a significant platform for engaging with the critical and evolving issues that impact media practice across Africa. It provides a reflective space for media professionals, academics, policymakers, and civil society to examine the media\u2019s role in shaping and sustaining democratic ideals on the continent.<\/p>\n

Organized 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.<\/p>\n

The theme for the 2025 edition is: \u201cJournalism in Turbulent Times: Navigating Through the Pressures.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
This theme reflects the increasing complexities and challenges facing journalism today \u2014 from political interference, economic constraints, and technological disruption, to threats against press freedom and journalist safety.<\/p>\n

The 2025 lecture will explore how journalists can remain resilient, uphold ethical standards, and continue to serve the public interest amidst these mounting pressures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
