I promise I haven\u2019t paid him to write this newsletter &#8211; you\u2019ll see why below!<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please send your guest writing pitches for this section to chris@barazalab.com if you\u2019re interested in being our guest curator on the newsletter, and you have something of interest to share to our community \u2014 a trend you\u2019ve noticed or something you\u2019d like us to think about.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">~ Christine<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last week, at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, Italy, I experienced every panel moderator\u2019s dream moment of watching while a panellist leans forward to their microphone, and proceeds to set the event on fire. That panellist was, of course, Christine Mungai of Baraza Media Lab, and while each of her interventions on our panel about \u2018Decolonising Media Development\u2019 was met with applause and even cheers from the standing-room-only crowd (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journalismfestival.com\/programme\/2024\/decolonising-media-development-a-new-role-for-global-north-media-support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">watch the video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I\u2019m not exaggerating), her verbal Molotov came with four simple words &#8211; \u201cMoney is not knowledge\u201d&#8230; A seemingly simple observation, but one that encapsulates and upends a power dynamic that has been allowed to persist for far too long, and that even ended up <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk\/news\/international-journalism-festival-2024-what-we-learnt-perugia-about-future-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">being quoted <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by the august Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism in their round-up of the stand-out moments of the Festival.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call it what you want &#8211; decolonisation, localisation, Shift The Power, the Paris Agenda &#8211; but it\u2019s a dynamic we\u2019re all familiar with &#8211; and in the media development field, it is moving at a far slower pace than in other parts of civil society (who are much more vocal about it than we are, as this week\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shiftthepower.org\/toosoutherntobefunded\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open Letter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from #ShiftThePower shows). I\u2019ve long wanted to convene a discussion on this, and a heartfelt thank you to our remarkable panellists\u2014Christine, of course, alongside Lina Attalah of Mada Masr in Egypt, Nishant Lalwani of IFPIM, and Mira Milosevic of GFMD\u2014for their insightful contributions to this important and urgent conversation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an independent consultant and analyst, I work on trying to improve both the amount of funding available directly to Global South peers, and how and on what terms it is provided. Over the past couple of years, I\u2019ve been asked to dig deeper into what\u2019s not working in the way media development happens now, and what it could look like in the future. I encountered a huge amount of frustration, and real impatience, at the way money is supposed to flow, but actually only trickles, from the Global North to the Global South. Echoing Christine\u2019s words, one editor said \u201cit always feels like someone else\u2019s money, on someone else\u2019s priorities.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But there\u2019s a linked issue we didn\u2019t get to discuss as much on the panel. In 2023 I wrote a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/373550712_The_role_of_media_festivals_in_strengthening_independent_media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">report on media festivals in the Global South<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Media <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Party in Argentina, Festival 3i in Brazil, Splice Beta in Thailand, and Baraza\u2019s own Africa Media Festival in Kenya<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In that report I argue for a shift in what we think of as global or international media. The global discourse on journalism and media innovation has predominantly been led by voices and examples from the Global North, particularly in the English language and from the USA and UK. What we have been led to think of as good journalism, as relevant business models, or as professional journalistic standards and approaches, has been almost by default what is happening in New York or London.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many of the values Global North journalism and media espouse are also shared by their fellow public interest media in the Global South, what we\u2019ve found (and what many already know) is that the experiences of Global South media are far more typical of the conditions faced by media globally than those in the (sadly) diminishing number of strong and resilient Global North democracies.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This isn\u2019t a trivial point. I\u2019m arguing that what we call \u2018global\u2019 should be what is experienced by those in the Global South, because it is simply more representative of global realities. In another part of my work, as a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmfus.org\/news\/no-news-bad-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visiting Fellow on Cities and Information Inequality<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, at the German Marshall Fund, the same dynamic is clear &#8211; if the things you\u2019re looking at don\u2019t work in Global South cities, they\u2019re not really global.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple structural barriers still exist that impede those with deep expertise in the Global South from being able to talk about media in a global context, rather than just from their own country\u2019s perspective (and to be paid <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> global experts). In the same way, events in the Global South are just as global and representative (if not even more so) than ones in or curated by the Global North. Of course these conversations can be uncomfortable, and we need to act with care, but delay is not an option, and nor is trying to suppress the debate, for, as Octavia Butler said \u201cThe very act of looking ahead to discern possibilities and offer warnings is in itself an act of hope.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to Chris Potter, Arianna Ciccone and the IJF team for helping us bring this conversation into one of the world\u2019s most prestigious spaces for talking about the future of journalism. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journalismfestival.com\/programme\/2024\/decolonising-media-development-a-new-role-for-global-north-media-support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch the conversation here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s worth your time, I promise!
