We document violations so that we can advocate for journalists facing danger and help those who need immediate support ~ Angela Quintal
Journalism remains a vital line of defence, but protecting our shared reality is a responsibility that reaches well beyond journalists or governments ~ @pthigo

the people building technology, those living with its consequences, and those shaping its rules rarely meet early enough….#AfroFrequency is a way to change this. Thank you @pthigo for feeding the fire!

After Afrofrequency's successful launch in New York, the conversation is now moving to Africa and you get to contribute. If you could put one issue on the AfroFrequency agenda for its next gathering, what would it be? #AfroFrequency #AfricanFutures #UNGA81

Last night in New York, we launched #AfroFrequency:
to the world; a pan-African movement ensuring Africa does not merely consume the tech, but helps imagine, build and govern it. The frequency is live. This is where Africa imagines tomorrow. 🌍 @pthigo @LarryMadowo @MauriceOtieno
AfroFrequency officially launched in New York, this marked a powerful beginning to a much bigger conversation.
From technology and culture to media, creativity, research and governance, the room brought together African voices and global perspectives around one central question
A technology that cannot hear most Africans cannot claim to understand Africa ~ @otienoc nation.africa/kenya/blogs-op…
Afro Frequency has officially launched in New York City.
Bringing African innovators, creatives, technologists and storytellers together, the launch asks one big question: What does Africa want to do with AI?
Great to see @pthigo, @LarryMadowo and @GypsyStrategy in the room.

At UN Digital Cooperation Day 2026 in New York, my message: journalism and information integrity must be central to our digital future. Trusted information, editorial independence and public accountability are democratic infrastructure. #DigitalCooperationDay #Journalism #UNGA81
1 DAY TO GO!
Afro Frequency launches tomorrow in New York, bringing together African innovators, creatives, technologists, storytellers, researchers, policymakers & civic actors to explore technology, culture and Africa’s future.
#AfroFrequency #AfricanFutures #UNGA81
Africa should not simply tune in to the future. It should help set the frequency.
At #UNGA, EAES and partners launch #AfroFrequency, uniting artists, technologists, journalists, lawyers and organisers to shape emerging tech.

Leadership influences content, and content shapes public discourse.
In response to editorial updates at @NationMediaGrp, @AMWIK notes that those changes reflect a persistent gap that women occupy under 4% of Managing Editor roles despite contributing 40% of Kenya’s media workforce.

@JustineLumumba calls for constructive engagement between the media, government, and the private sector, maintaining that respectful disagreement should cultivate solutions rather than deepen divisions.

simply to publish tomorrow’s headline. It is to ensure that future generations inherit societies where truth still matters,” @Otieno tells delegates at #UgandaEditorsGuild convention
Day 2 is underway at the Uganda Editors' Guild Convention. Looking forward to insightful discussions, practical ideas, and meaningful conversations about the future of journalism in Uganda. #UgandaEditorsGuild #Journalism #MediaUg
