The theme of the journalism innovation conference is “Accountability Journalism: Nurturing Innovation for a Sustainable Future.”
This conference seeks to drive discussions on the various aspects of journalism practice while focusing on the best ways to drive impactive innovations that could help establish more accountability in the West African democratic society.
