The Media Challenge Initiative (MCI) hosted its annual Alumni Leadership Convention, a one-day event aimed at nurturing the next generation of media leaders in Uganda. This year's convention will brought together 45 young journalists for a day of leadership training and career mentorship.
The convention addressed the unique challenges and opportunities facing early-career journalists in today's rapidly evolving media landscape. The event featured panel discussions, breakout sessions and networking sessions, all tailored to the needs of young media professionals.
The convention featured a keynote address from Abaas Mpindi, our team lead, offering inspiration and a broader perspective on the future of media in the country.
As the media industry continues to face challenges and transformations, initiatives like the MCI Alumni Leadership Convention play a vital role in preparing young professionals to not just adapt, but to lead and innovate. The impact of this one-day event rippled through Uganda's media ecosystem, contributing to a more robust and dynamic fourth estate.
