UoN Press Freedom Forum to Promote Democratic Values
The University of Nairobi reaffirmed its commitment to ethical journalism and democratic values by hosting the "Guardians of the Truth: Navigating the Ethics and Future of a Free Press" forum. Bringing together students, academics, media professionals, policymakers, and international partners, the event fostered dialogue on press freedom, media ethics, artificial intelligence, misinformation, and the future of independent journalism. The discussions emphasized the importance of accuracy, accountability, and professional integrity in strengthening democratic societies while preparing future journalists to navigate an evolving digital media landscape. The initiative reflects the University's dedication to civic engagement, interdisciplinary learning, and advancing Sustainable Development Goal 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) through education, research, and public dialogue.
