During the fifth World Media Summit held in Guangzhou and Kunming, representatives from developing countries emphasized the importance of giving the Global South a stronger and more prominent voice in global media.
They stressed that:
– In an increasingly interconnected world, the media has a responsibility to promote global common development through collaboration and exchange.
– Media outlets from developing nations are urged to provide objective and responsible reporting to amplify the voices of these countries and address the challenges they face collectively.
– The role of media extends beyond conveying facts; it should also drive social-economic change and development.
– Cooperation among media is seen as crucial for ensuring that the voices of developing countries are heard on a global scale and for fostering diverse and inclusive narratives.
– Creating a shared narrative promoting common prosperity is imperative, and communication between developing countries is fundamental for building relations and fostering peace and understanding in the international system.
