| dc.description | The African Media Initiative's three-day 6th African Media Leaders' Forum started November 6 in Addis Ababa under the theme: "The African Media in the last 50 years and the future."
Africa's private and independent media role has changed dramatically in the past two decades as democracy and economic reform has taken root. Increasingly, vibrant and independent media are demonstrating rapid growth in terms of media outlets and the size of audiences. The continent's explosive adoption of mobile technology and its ability to pioneer new business models holds out the promise of more significant entrepreneurial opportunities for African media in the future. Yet quantity does not equal quality. Growth alone will not guarantee that media can help address some of Africa's most pressing challenges. As AMI's extensive research and consultation show through AMDI and STREAM, the sector is challenged by economic and political pressures, inadequate access to capital and market data, low professionalism, and poor ethics, and the rapidly changing technological landscape. | en |
