Suggested angles

AWiM26 will move beyond panel discussions to showcase concrete case studies of women who've restructured media organizations—bringing real examples of hiring practices, budget allocation, and succession planning that have shifted gender representation from talk to measurable outcomes

Windhoek's location positions Africa's media leadership challenges and solutions at the center of the conversation, allowing participants to examine how economic barriers, regulatory frameworks, and newsroom structures differ from Western contexts and require region-specific action plans

The conference will connect women in media leadership directly with decision-makers in economics and business—creating pathways for funding women-led media ventures and addressing the capital gap that keeps many female journalists and editors from advancing to ownership and executive positions

Position yourself as someone who can discuss what measurable changes in women's media leadership look like beyond increased representation—focusing on the economic and structural shifts happening in African newsrooms specifically.
