The Chief Executive Officer of New Era Publication Company, Christof Maletsky, says knowledge management is a relatively new concept in Namibia, adding that the media house, in partnership with the forum, is keen to play the role of changemakers.

"Both print and digital media have an important role to play in introducing new ideas and new ways of thinking, such as this concept of knowledge management. We are in a position to promote good and positive ways of thinking, and I welcome opportunities to acquire new ideas and knowledge for the development of the country, not just for the media industry but for the development of the country, as long as it is within the acceptable ethics and boundaries of good journalism."

Maletsky was speaking at the launch of the Namibia Knowledge Management Forum by the International University of Management.
