"The Broadcast, Film and Music Africa (BFMA) conference is a popular
creative content and electronic broadcasting event that promotes
knowledge sharing and networking among high-level electronic media
professionals. BFMA 2013 is scheduled to take place in Nairobi at the
Kenyatta International Conference Center over 26-27 June. This year’s
theme is Building a world class electronic media industry in Africa"
I am really looking forward to attending Session 2 on day 1 of this awesome conference! And if time permits, I may also attend Session 17 titled "Music Distribution"
"SESSION 2
PANEL DISCUSSION
Audiovisual content creation in Africa: Challenges and opportunities
As an industry we are still pushing the image of ‘the thin black starving child’, yet Africa has made great strides in recent decades. How then can African media step up and take its place in shaping or creating a new perception by also showing positive stories of Africa? how do we cover positive stories without necessarily hiding the dark truth? Is there a need for more African content on the global platform? is
there an African voice that tells African stories or is the international media in control of who and how Africa's perception is shaped? what role can social media play and is it a working reality? Next steps.
