170 media professionals from religious media outlets in French-speaking Africa are receiving training in “integral radio” in Lomé
In Francophone Africa, radio is the preeminent medium. For one week, approximately 170 representatives from faith-based radio stations are gathering in Lomé, Togo, for another training week. Jointly organized by the Radio Réveil association in Bevaix and Radio Ebène et développement in France, this week aims to enhance the quality of Christian radio stations in Africa.
On Monday, November 25, over 170 representatives from 72 faith-based radio stations across Francophone Africa gathered in Lomé, Togo, for a week-long training session on the theme 'Inventing Integral Radio.' During the opening session, the Minister of Communication, Folly-Bazi Katari, expressed his satisfaction that the seminar aimed to 'promote excellence within Christian media.' He also noted that 'this seminar came at a crucial time to address major challenges such as integrating new information and communication technologies, and promoting ethics and professional conduct.' The minister also urged faith-based media professionals to 'safeguard peace in our countries,' so that Muslims and Christians can peacefully attend their places of worship on Fridays or Sundays.
