Digital policy & advocacy strategy
Following the General Assembly the Secretariat also drafted a strategy to policy and advocacy efforts regarding digital regulation and its impact on media organisations.
The digital policy & advocacy strategy followed a series of structured consultations with smaller groups of the Steering Committee members, which were held throughout November and December 2021.
It prioritises issues that target key governmental actors and technology companies, as well as the participation and visibility of Southern actors and their perspectives in policy debates.
