The Annual Media Summit is a regional meeting of media practitioners and stakeholders to deliberate on pertinent issues affecting the media sector. It is an opportunity, to discuss, decide, reward and recognize practitioners’ achievements in promoting a professional, free and independent media.

The event is a successor to the Journalists’ Convention and Annual Journalism Excellence Awards, in order to expand the scope of the Council’s media engagements beyond journalists to the media ecosystem as envisioned by the Media Council Act 2013.
