Op-Ed: By Joseph Rwagatare
-Excerpt- On March, 18, 2010, His Highness The Aga Khan provided what, for me, was a very useful definition of what a responsible and useful media should be.
He was speaking in Nairobi at the conference to mark the 50 anniversary of the Nation Media Group on the theme: Media and the African Promise. His words carry weight. He is the owner of the Nation Media Group, without doubt East Africa’s most successful media group.
He was also reflective, perhaps because he was looking at the last fifty years of NMG and charting its future.
The Aga Khan said the goal of the media in the future should be “an Africa in which both goverments and the media respect their appropriate roles.”
He then went on to define what the role for the media is.
