The publication aims to provide critical reflection and useful tips and tools for Ethiopian journalists and anyone who has an interest in media reform during times of change and focus on broad media reform themes such as press freedom, self-regulation, media business models, media councils, gender representation in the media, and the need for tools and resilience in a digitalized world. While most of the contributors to this booklet are Ethiopian, there are also journalists and experts from other African countries like Zimbabwe, Kenya, South Africa and Sweden. The book was commissioned by Fojo project manager, Marika Griehsel and edited by Heather Robertson (Change Routes), translated from English to Amharic by Biniam Getaneh and designed by Izzat Amanuel.<\/p>

Photographer Michael Tewelde has taken the photos to both publications, most of them during the conference \u201dPromoting journalism and democracy in Practices \u2013 Media reform in a time of change\u201d, 9\u201310 April at UNECA, Addis Ababa, arranged by Fojo Media Institute, The Swedish Embassy in Ethiopia and Nubia Media and Communications.<\/p>

\u201cMedia reform is not only about reforming the laws. It is about reforming the heart of the culture of journalism as well as the relation between media, government, civil society and international stakeholders. It is about producing journalism that is based on truth-seeking professionalism\u201d, says Lars Tallert, Head of Policy and International Development at Fojo Media Institut.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The report, with a journalism and freedom of speech perspective should be seen as an introduction to how social media influences sustainable, independent news publishing, freedom of speech and growth of democracy in Ethiopia.<\/p>

This against the backdrop of an intensified international debate and actions taken across the world to come to terms with social media platforms including the use of them by undisclosed political forces.<\/p>
