The Salzburg global Seminar is a high level gathering of development agencies, foundations and other international donor organizations. The goal of the meeting was to discuss the role of independent media as a driver of positive change, underwriting development goals, and increasing the effectiveness of development programs. The meeting was held from October 7 to 11, 2009.
Nazeer LADHANI, senior advisor, Aga Khan Development Network: “In Kenya in the post-2007 election period the story is not old versus new media, but that if a population is ill-educated and ill-informed, they are easily misled, easily mistaken and easily manipulated. If journalists are ill-trained and ill-compensated then there could be temptation for bad practices.”
