The media landscape is evolving and innovations are being introduced to help journalists, media practitioners and other related services to improve their impact.

The Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development CJID is set to hold the first of its kind West Africa Journalism Innovation Conference (WAJIC’23) in Abuja, the Capital of Nigeria.

The event which would bring over 300 participants across media houses, academic institutions, government institutions and policy makers across West Africa is scheduled to hold between 24 and 26 July 2023.

The conference will feature workshops, expert panels and explore media innovations and technological tools that can fortify journalism practice in the African region. It will also foster networking opportunities and collaboration that can improve accountability journalism in ways that meet the yearnings of democracy and development in the interest of Africa.

It would be a platform for participants to collaborate, network and foster meaningful connections that could transform the landscape of journalism in West Africa.
