African Media and New Business Models in Cameroon

A24 Media Supports Media Forum to Tackle Issue of Funding for African Media and New Business Models in Cameroon )


Funding African Media in an Age of Uncertain Business Models will be
the main theme of the African Media Leaders Forum (AMLF) when it meets
in Yaoundé, Cameroon in November.

The Forum is the flagship programme of the African Media Initiative
(AMI) and is the only annual gathering of African media owners and
operators from around the continent. “The main objective of the
Forum is to facilitate the emergence of an African media sector that
is professional, financially sustainable, technologically adaptable
and socially responsible,” according to Amadou Mahtar Ba, AMI CEO.

The Forum, which will take place on the 18th and 19th November, is
being hosted by the Spectrum Media Group, one of the largest
broadcasters on the continent, which operates out of West and Central
Africa. Over 250 participants including CEOs, managing directors,
publishers and media leaders from Africa and beyond are expected to
attend. The organizers have reported an over five-fold increase in
number of participants attending when compared to the first AMLF which
was held in Dakar, Senegal in 2008

This year’s Forum will be organized around both plenary sessions and
working groups that will run simultaneously. The topics will be
Financing; Technology and New Business Models; and Ethics, Leadership
and Social Responsibility.

The co-chairs of the 2010 Forum are: Joyce Barnathan, President of the
International Center for Journalist (ICFJ), USA, Papa Madiaw Ndiaye,
CEO and Founder of the Advanced Finance & Investment Group, USA,
Reginald Mengi, Executive Chairman of IPP, Tanzania and Salim Amin,
Chairman, A24 Media and Camerapix, Kenya

“AMLF is honoured to have these leading professionals co-chair the
2010 Forum. We believe that their skills, views and experience will
provide invaluable input in discussions around how to improve the
media landscape in Africa and how to empower media to play a greater
role in promoting democracy, human development and economic growth on
the continent,” said Mr Mahtar Ba.
