In the continuously evolving landscape of newsrooms, international exchange programmes have become an essential component.

The Director General of the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), Menesia Muinjo, has urged journalists and media practitioners to work hard to preserve the country's favourable media freedom rankings.

Staff of the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) marked World Press Day with a meeting that focused on media ethics, press freedom and self-regulation. Reporters, editors and executives discussed the role of the media in serving the public and preserving credibility.

The One Economy Foundation held its annual Media Awards yesterday in the capital.

The awards recognise journalists and media practitioners whose reporting focuses on issues such as gender-based violence, femicide, sexual and reproductive rights, mental health, and child protection.

The One Economy Foundation hosted the third annual Media Summit in Windhoek.

The events brought together media practitioners, journalists, and healthcare professionals from across Namibia.

Namibia joined the world in observing World Press Freedom Day, with the official handover of the Windhoek Declaration inscription certificate.

The declaration was adopted in Windhoek 35 years ago and remains an important part of global efforts to promote a free, independent, and responsible press.

Namibia has recorded an improvement in its standing on the global press freedom index, reaffirming its position as one of Africa's leading voices for media freedom and democratic expression.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has reaffirmed Namibia's commitment to press freedom, describing it as essential to democracy, human rights and national stability.

Former Wato FM Regional Manager Kosmas Muyenga described his time at the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) as inspiring, fulfilling, progressive and, to an extent, emotional. 

Muyenga retired last month after 39 years of service. 

Eight unemployed youth have received media training through the Nyae Nyae Media Club in Tsumkwe.

The programme initially started with 15 young people in September 2022.
