Greetings from TMF!
Since liberalisation in the 1990s, the media sector in Tanzania has grown to include a wide range of actors and diverse interests. As the legal, political, economic and cultural landscape of the country has changed so have media production and consumption patterns.

Technological advances have also had a significant impact on how people search for, access and share information. And recently, the president signed the Media Services Act (2016), which to some extent embodies the tensions at work in the media landscape of Tanzania.

In this dynamic context, what is the role of editors in promoting professionalism and editorial independence in the media in Tanzania? What does the future of journalism look like and how can the media effectively play its three-fold role of watch dog, agenda-setter and gate-keeper?

The Tanzania Editors' Forum (TEF) with support from TMF has organised a media stakeholders meeting to discuss the editorial independence and professionalism in Tanzania in the context of the rapidly changing media landscape.
The media stakeholders event will take place on 8 December, 9 to 4 p.m. at LAPF Towers and will be preceded by a TEF meeting on 7 December, 9 to 4 p.m. at Protea Courtyard.
For more information on how to confirm your participation, see the attachment or contact Rosemary Mwakitwange on the email: rosemarymwakitwange@gmail.com or number  0717 190 856.
Regards,
