📍 At the @_AfricanUnion HQ to better understand the institution’s mandate, its role in shaping the continent’s agenda and how communicators and journalists can reflect that context in the stories they tell. #OurStoryAfrica

Day 2⃣ examined how stories move. We learned from journalists that "it's not just what we say, but how and when we say it." Keywords: clarity, format, context & audience. On to Day 3! #OurStoryAfrica

📰 Day 3 of the #MediaClinic opened with a working session on development-oriented press briefings: 📎 Press kit essentials 🎙️ Spokesperson roles ⏱️ Frequency and timing 🔍 Ways to highlight impact clearly #OurStoryAfrica

🎙️ The ideal UNDP x Media relationship is not transactional. It is about access to timely information, clarity on who to speak to, and context that supports accurate reporting. When this is clear, stories land where they should. #OurStoryAfrica

@ahunnaeziakonwa @mznaab @jmartyns @UNDP @UNDPplanet @UNDPResilience @ZeynuUmmer @GomeraM @NTikum @UNDPWACA ✨🗞️ Then the room turned into a newsroom: What’s new? Why now? Why should the audience care? Participants pitched real story ideas to a peer jury to showcase what makes journalists tune in, and what makes them scroll past. #OurStoryAfrica

At "The place of non-traditional content" session, speakers explored how reels, podcasts & explainers can make stories travel further. 🎙️ Non-traditional doesn’t mean “no rules”: ethics, context & human perspective remain the newsroom currency. #OurStoryAfrica

Who sets Africa’s narrative? How do we earn audience trust? 🎙 “The audience is the boss.” — speakers from @France24, @NewsCentralTV, @radio_ndarason & #What Media Group at today’s Media Clinic called for people-centred, credible storytelling led from #Africa. #OurStoryAfrica

The fireside chat 'Development coverage amidst geopolitical shifts' explored the role of the media in shaping governance, influencing leadership & connecting global debates to local realities, with insights from @jmartyns of @UNDP & @agnesthomasi of @wadrenglish. #OurStoryAfrica

What happens after a crisis? At the Africa Media Clinic, journalists and communicators explored how solutions journalism can strengthen reporting by focusing on response, recovery & lessons learned. #OurStoryAfrica

In moments of crisis, political, humanitarian or environmental, clarity and collaboration matter most. The Media Clinic session on crisis communication looked at how media and communicators can act fast, stay factual and build trust under pressure. #OurStoryAfrica

Impact reporting bridges the gap between policy and people. At the Media Clinic, we explored how @UNDP flagships like #AFSIT & the regional #AfCFTA portfolio can translate complex data into stories that highlight progress and context. #OurStoryAfrica

🎥 Day 1 of the Media Clinic set the tone with open, honest exchanges on crisis communication, solutions journalism and impact reporting, bringing together storytellers from across Africa. #OurStoryAfrica

📢 Day 2 of the UNDP Africa Media Clinic started with reflections on how collaboration, trust and accuracy can help shape Africa’s narrative, told by Africans, through stories grounded in context. #OurStoryAfrica

🎙️ Press releases aren’t dead, but they’re not enough. At today’s “The Pitch” session, participants unpacked what makes stories stand out and get picked up: 📈 data-backed stories, visuals & quotes 🗂️ Clear, precise, concise info ⏲️ Good timing and follow-up #OurStoryAfrica

🎙 “We need your help.” — Dr. @jmartyns, of @UNDP, opening the Media Clinic in Addis Ababa: 🟢 Thinking through solutions 🟢 Getting evidence from the ground so we can do better 🟢 Showing what’s working and what can be improved #OurStoryAfrica
