President Mnangagwa is set to officially launch the country’s first-ever Media and Communications Policy at State House in Harare today, a milestone moment for Zimbabwe’s media landscape.
The event has drawn a full house of media stakeholders, regulatory authorities, and industry professionals, all gathered to witness a historic step towards modernisation and inclusivity in the media sector.
The theme is “Promoting media excellence and diversity for national development.”
Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Jenfan Muswere, who has championed the policy since its early drafting stages, is leading the media stakeholders.
This policy is designed to protect Zimbabwe’s image, sovereignty, and territorial integrity while promoting a robust digital economy and a diverse media industry.
It outlines ambitious goals to transform the media environment through modern infrastructure, emphasising professionalism and creating a comprehensive code of ethics to raise media standards nationwide.
The policy not only seeks to ensure the viability and sustainability of the media but also to cultivate national values and foster a common understanding of Zimbabwe’s history and development goals.
