The M20 Media Summit elevated information integrity to a global strategic imperative
The M20 Media Summit, convened by the South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) and Media Monitoring Africa (MMA), was not a side-show, but a powerful, proactive call to action. African media leaders successfully tabled the Johannesburg Declaration, and its formal handover to President Ramaphosa ahead of the main summit cemented its standing as a major agenda point.
The M20 Declaration fundamentally framed Information Integrity as essential to democracy, development, and the achievement of the G20’s goals.
