Abstract
Media in sub-Saharan Africa is at a crossroads. Journalism as a change agent within sub-Saharan Africa has lagged, due primarily to the lack of commercially vibrant media and editorially independent media institutions. This has weakened sub-Saharan Africa’s democratic governance processes and its socio-economic development.
The purpose of this document is to propose the design of a Brain Trust that would help create for sub-Saharan Africa a dynamic, stable, and financially sound digital ecosystem spanning the mediums of print, radio, and television.
