ABC hosts 2024 Pacific Media Partnership Conference in Brisbane – Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) Secretary General Ahmed Nadeem and Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Managing Director David Anderson have hosted more than 150 media leaders and practitioners from the Pacific and Australia at the 2024 Pacific Media Partnership Conference.
Participants in the two-day conference, held on 29 and 30 April at ABC Brisbane’s Southbank offices, attended workshops, presentations and discussions exploring media freedom, digital transformation, disinformation, the future of news and gender equality in reporting.
ABC Managing Director David Anderson said:
“The ABC has been delighted to welcome to Brisbane media professionals from across the Pacific and Australia for this important gathering, which reaffirms the ABC’s commitment to our Pacific media partners and our region’s multilateral media infrastructure. ABC Brisbane is a fitting location for the conference given its recent emergence as a hub for the ABC’s Pacific content makers.”
ABU Secretary General Ahmed Nadeem said:
“I would like to thank the ABC for hosting this meeting of the ABU’s Pacific members and partners. In a rapidly changing media landscape, it’s important all broadcasters – large and small – have the opportunity to learn about the latest industry developments, enhance skills and share experiences from within the region and beyond.
The ABC plays a very important role supporting its fellow members and we value its contribution to ABU activities such as the Pacific Media Partnership Meeting.”
The conference follows a high-level summit of Pacific Media Leaders held in Sydney in February 2024, also hosted by Mr. Anderson and the ABC.
The ABU, broadcasters in attendance and Pacific Cooperation Broadcasting Limited (NZ) have issued a communique at the end of the two-day conference, attached to this Media Release.
