SICS and Africa Media Bureau Convene Media Convergence Conference on Future of Journalism in Ghana
The School of Information and Communication Studies (SICS), in partnership with the Africa Media Bureau (AMB), has hosted a Media Convergence Conference aimed at examining the evolving landscape of journalism and media practice in Ghana’s digital age.
The conference, held on Wednesday, 29th April, 2026 at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel, brought together academics, media practitioners, policymakers and technology experts. Under the theme “The Future of Media Practice, Education and Policy in Ghana,” the event created a platform for open and practical conversations about the direction of journalism in an increasingly digital environment.
At the heart of the discussions was the recognition that traditional media platforms such as radio, television and print are undergoing significant change. Participants noted that changing audience behaviours, declining advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms are forcing media organisations to rethink how they operate, sustain themselves and connect with audiences.
