KAS Media Africa Local Journalism Award Call for Submissions 2025

KAS Media Africa invites you to make your submissions in English or French for consideration.

Local journalism is what makes the media and its audiences tick. It is the stories around us and about us, that speak to the situation in a country. Moreover, local news, if presented professionally, can be elevated to national level and sometimes, even make international headlines. Many local journalists struggle daily with breaking international news down to a local level.

The wild, wild web - the battle for the internet! Who makes the rules?

International Forum in Johannesburg

In its various manifestations, it is, or at least it is shaping up to be, the media question of the year: Who makes the rules on the internet? Should there be rules on the Internet? Should there be a system of checks and balances? If so, how is this then enforced? KAS Media Africa tackled this timely and contentious issue in close cooperation with our partners from the leading South African weekly, the Mail & Guardian, at an international forum in Johannesburg, 25 January 2011.
