A new Media and Communications Policy, being launched by President Mnangagwa today, will be vital in shaping how media operates amid fast-evolving technological changes, academia has revealed.
As artificial intelligence continues to alter the landscape of information sharing, the policy will ground the country’s media practices in ethics, professionalism, and responsibility.
Speaking on the policy’s implications, Media Law lecturer Mlondolozi Ndlovu emphasised its relevance.
The media policy will be key in the context of changing media dynamics as a result of artificial intelligence.
“It will help shape the national discourse around ethical, professional, and responsible media during these times where technology has affected media consumption and distribution,” he said.
As AI tools increasingly influence both content creation and distribution, the policy’s success may hinge on how effectively it bridges traditional media values with the demands of a tech-driven future.
