Francophone Media Innovation Award 2021

The OIF, Radio France internationale (RFI) and Reporters sans Frontières (RSF) are jointly launching the call for applications for the sixth edition of the “Francophone Prize for Media Innovation”, which aims to encourage a rapidly evolving sector and to strengthen press freedom and the right to information in the French language. This call is addressed to all media (radio, television, written press and new media) of the 88 member states and governments of La Francophonie who have been able to develop innovative offers that take into account new modes of consumption and access to ‘information.

The winners, appointed by a jury made up of representatives of the OIF, RFI and RSF as well as other personalities from the French-speaking media world, will receive an endowment of 15,000 euros (1st Prize), 10,000 euros (2nd Prize ) and 5,000 euros (3rd Prize). The prize will be awarded next November.

Our own languages matter in the digital age… Or do they?

Someone asked me the other day why I thought it was necessary to make the Sasai App available in different African languages. “What is the point?” he reasoned. “Most people who use digital platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, and Twitter, do so in English, French or Portuguese. They are educated. They don’t need languages like Shona, Ndebele and Yoruba. You are just wasting money; they will not bother to even use it.” I was so deeply saddened by what he said. For me this was an elitist mindset forged by the colonial era, when we were forced, almost brainwashed, to look down on things our own people do. Even though some African countries have been independent 60+ years, many of our people continue to hold this type of mindset!
