Panel discussion on "Journalism is not activism"

Once again this year, the three Media Programmes of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung took part in the two-day Global Media Forum in Bonn with their own panel. This time the topic was "Journalism is not activism". Our panellists were: Nwabisa Makunga from South Africa, Cristina Cileacu from Rumania and Cape Diamond from Myanmar. All three reported on their experiences in this field under the moderation of Christoph Plate, Director of the KAS Media Programme South East Europe.

The Global Media Forum, organised by Deutsche Welle, brings together more than a thousand journalists from all over the world every year. It is the largest international media conference in Germany.
