Day 5 commenced with the first-ever European Press Prize community gathering in EPP’s ten years of operation. The European Press Prize is an organisation founded to support and promote quality journalism in every corner of the continent.
Shortly after, the EPP held an open networking event in the Media Village to help IJW attendees get to know each other better. The event kicked off with an interactive game, which was designed by the moderator and featured controversial topics such as religion, abortion, the LGBTQ+ community and political corruption, among others.
The event was followed by the theme announcement for incubator’s fourth cycle, inviting journalists to submit proposals on “Climate Inequity”. Applications opened today, Monday 10 October 2022 HERE.
In the next session, Bloomberg Media Initiative Africa held a panel titled “Innovation and Sustainable Media Business Models,” featuring a discussion on how print advertising revenues have plunged by 50%, while social media accounts for about half of all global digital advertising revenue.
