do some self reflection and look at how africa is viewed through global news. after all, we other 77 percent or a tv magazine portraying africa. but we also have more coming up in our st debate. we review how africa is viewed through the eyes of international we. here in cyprus, we attend young refugees on their low path to becoming vasquez full size. and in our theories, tommy, because we asked nigerian does what i just, i to ranking how he became the person people did it. i conflict corruption, disease farming. international media is often accused of focusing solely on negative headlines coming out of the african continent or overlooking them altogether. do you agree?

let's take off the show by 1st hearing what young africans on the streets of south africa, nigeria, and kenya think. i think the international news out, if we do base hub, i should get some more african with content and the traditions and cultural in africa. there's still a lot of pushing the colonial way of thinking into africa. a lot of pushing influence from american africa. they want us to be portrayed as resources, understanding that we need to take care of ourselves. we need to understand ourselves. so we need to prioritize speaking to each other, rather than getting the white months view of things. i feel that they should come to africa and document all the good things happening here are the creativity or the developmental transition, and i'm put it out there. so it was not that africa is green as well. a lot of times as kids to take medicine, i think what will help that is of the media,

how the, the journalist need to come out more unsure. the real story of up until then they went through a lot of the ones. let's now go to bon, where the annual global media forum just to place and media professionals from all over africa and the world. what present. so my colleague told me already full caught up with a couple of them to find out how do we of media practitioners view africa. we've stories do you as the audience want to see? and what can editors and journalism leaders do better? let's watch this insightful debate the, the war in ukraine, the covert 19 pandemic. these are stories that have dominated the news recently. but what about major stories from africa that don't grab the world's attention? here at dw global media forum, we've got together a group of media professionals from africa and abroad to discuss the stories that

matter. let's start with our panel and very quickly, i'll start with older and can you tell us what stories matter to you very quickly? what it all depends on what be covering on the day, it could be that a check. fine. capetown is the most important story of the day, even though you have people dying in the d o. c. but what, what would you like to see covered? i think human interest stories 1st of all. so this is about human beings, the sufferings and, but also, but also very important. it's also telling the good story. it's not just about the ugly story. all right, let's come to the youngest member of our panel. adida from tanza near an award winning youth reporter. what stories do you cover and the stories which i cover, it's all about girls developing their countries. also woman's cause in africa. woman, i like i like suspended. they cannot do something until nowadays,

although there are laws which are guiding them and to, sorry, i guiding them. they cannot do something much through this programs which am doing . they can know that woman's there still are people who can still develop our countries. they hold high ranks of government and they're still doing good for to let's come to you. if i to is a presenter and reporter with gambia is the gumby as state broadcaster, are these the kinds of stories that go on l, that when you go on and these are stories, you cover a very much. so i, the gamma is relatively a small country where population of largest 2000000 people. so we don't necessarily have very big issues. but we also are battle with some of these things that happen across africa as well. you know, from youth and pro unemployment, from maternity issues from sexual and gender based violence. and up until now wasters struggling to carry out these, you know, these issues the way they should in the mainstream media bulky mccord. now you are

the executive director at africa. no filter, you've got a report on how africa covers africa. what kinds of stories are these that have been covered? i had to reflect what these. oh, and a little say, sorry, the reflect what alvin said. he wants to see what is more good news, more positive news, more feature type stories. what we found was that was 81 percent of the stories. we picked up that africans a reading in african media about other african countries with negative. it was hard news and by definition hard news tends to be negative news. it was the humanitarian crises that you're talking about. so we're getting a lot of coverage on that sort of news. what we found was missing was the human interest stories with the stories of arts and culture. i mean, when you think about africa, what is our biggest export? if it's not afro beats with music, but we don't cover it, we don't cover the industry, we don't cover the sector. so there is a lot missing and there's a lot of work that needs to be done. less turned to richard walker. d w's chief

international editor, but you are also head of the newsroom for a bit. how do we decide what stories are top that, that the, make it to the very top of the news yet? well, it's a kind of class. it is a question for journalist, isn't it? but you can say that sometimes it comes down to kind of come, combination of sort of urgency untimeliness, you know, what has just happened a kind of a judgment about the impact and then often kind of proximity, like how close is that is often in a often a question that media will ask, of course, when, when you go in a regional media where you're serving either one country or one region, then proximity is one thing. but for deutsch, vela, we're global, you know, so it's a, we kind of have multiple levels in which we so view, the kind of proximity to us. just keep it with you for a 2nd. you've also covered or you, oh, you know, under your ram it has been india for example. india is a country of over 1000000000 people. yet the news coverage doesn't seem as if india is a one point something 1000000000 of country. and we could say the same about many african

countries. why of those in terms of, you know, the importance not, not making it up very. and with such frequency, i've just back recently from india where i was there for a week kind of covering of what's going on in india, geopolitically and was kind seeing one thing that the indian foreign minister said, well, when i was there he said, you know, basically whenever europe has a problem is everybody's problem. but when we have, we have a problem, it's our problem. one thing that has really changed in the way stories are covered is the power of social media. social media has given people a platform to be able to raise their stories and gain the mainstream media attention for to let's come to you. when i did a study on media choices and decision making in my bachelor's, i realized that i or i lot of young people took their conversation on social media because they felt that their stories were not really captured on mainstream, but also does not display the fact that these young people feel that they so much

fake news and miss information on the mainstream. but still this is where they're able to, you know, i'm amplified. they do courses, this is why they able to represent themselves. i grammar tumble. you are the news editor at the east african. these issues have been talked about. why are we not seeing them in the news? first of all, we need to report the stories of people and in my country. we've had the challenge where the social media is used by the audience to challenge us, to report certain stories. and i can tell you that in some cases the, the even challenge us to sort of correct our mistakes. and this becomes a very useful thing because the authorities hovel is used they are the media to sort of tell stories that they want and not necessarily to, to tell their stories other people want and we have so much power over over the

media. i think media ownership, for example, the political environment and just who is under tasing on the media platforms. interesting, i'll use as your honda canada for example, in tanzania. many media as i know, balanced in both sides. they have no freedom to buy less themselves because maybe they're pulling they're, they're one whole is owning that to media is a politician. so he or she is governing day their media that you should put this and this and this in media max. they have no freedom to talk about the extent of things. how can things change? how can you and your colleagues changed the wavy stories at on? i think the worse than me the i succeeded in kind of said in disband that of what journalism. oh, good journalism is, and i think i understand because they have, you know, a bigger representation and they do operating on a very international scale. but like you were mentioning, how do we localize them,

the content? because these things are important. but how much more of our stories are we projected in the news? i think that is a lot for us to take away that there is quite a lot to do. but for you who's just watch this conversation and listen to what's been said, what do you think? let us know this has been 77 percent. thanks for joining us. ah, thank you. tell me indeed. how can we change how things are done? tell us through e mail or our social media platforms and speaking of platforms, dw, in partnership with south africa joker under fm and east coast radio has launched that regional podcast. don't hold back feed loud. the broadcast is hosted by nosy bella. come garnett, my alba, who talks to various guests on topics like mental health, money, sex careers, and life choices. you can listen to the podcast on the jacker under f. m, an east coast radio podcast platforms, and everywhere you get your broadcast. and you can also watch it on the dw africa

youtube page. now on to a different topic. social media posts a saying that global migration is skyrocketing. but is that true? could it be that migration is not accelerating, but that there are just more people in the world. let's find out on the bucked. contrary to popular believe global migration has been very stable over the past 60 years. the fear of huge migrant waves has gripped people in various parts of the world. social media posts claim that migration is skyrocketing, this is false. let's explain. while the total number of global migrants has increased over the past 60 years, so has the overall world population. it has the region from 40000000000 to almost

8000000000 half a century ago. 3 percent of the world's population were my guidance to day. that number remains almost the same at 3.5 percent. for sub saharan africa, the figures have even slightly dropped and it's not true that all african migrants are desperate to leave the continent. the vast majority of migrants and refugees in africa only move to neighboring countries. global migration is not exhilarating. they are just more people in the world now on the small mediterranean island of se, press, the situation for african refugees is dia, even with asylum status. granted, former inhabitants of comp, like panada, have a hard time integrating into society due to lack of political real. but just look umbrella and his teammates have found a way to deal with frustration in

a positive way on the basketball cut. with my life, joe shook umbrella is a true fighter. the captain of the hoped refugee basketball team has been fighting all his life. he fled the democratic republic of congo, due to conflict, arrive in his cyprus in may 2020. when jesse vinny see, i explained my situation to a friend who advised that i come to cyprus to seek refuge. first i went to turkey, then entered northern, sombre, and then i crossed over into the salazer. what was supposed to be a new lease on life soon turned into a nightmare. the 17 year old was arrested by separate police and thrown into an

to social services limited. many of the residents here rely on donations from group slight generation for change. at who knows assess, he started a group. after witnessing the appalling conditions phased by refugees, we usually get people to donate our clothes or food and any other things, the blankets, especially in the winter period. and then we direct and distribute these items. so of individuals in the camp to provide a little bit of comfort, but mostly is the fact that we want to show our solidarity to those who have went through to the vulnerable once feeling because you have 2 month period before you're able to really receive your benefits and because there might be different delays when it comes to the benefits. individuals might not have access to food or hygiene,

essentials or close. he's really those were leave at the camp. the common contract was that or the end tell us about their needs. and then we tried to return to their needs and those needs are many after repeated criticism of living conditions at the poor. now to come, the president of cyprus promised a more humane treatment of my glance. but for professor nicholas, typically notice that government is deliberately frustrating refugees. once you do manage to put submit your application is your reception conditions that he supplement. absolutely appalling. it's embarrassing, but now resembles maurier. maurier is a was there is a disgrace for greece border. myra is our moderator this great for cyprus, but also those who leave coordinate and are staying outside the reception conditions they're accessing right? accessing the labor market, especially if you're africa and you're black,

you're treated discrimination is ramp everywhere. it really is a very, a terrible situation to, to be an asylum seeker in cyprus, asti planned on next move. several young africans are trapped on this beautiful mediterranean island. unable to leave the fuck under court buster or help combat in his he meets to forget all the apostrophes. here, the focus is on one thing to be the next basketball star good through using sports to heal from trauma. thank you. come by law for sharing your story with us from cypress, we moved to nigeria to meet reg dancehall. sensation potter ranking. patrick ne, mikka or korea opens up to d. w. about his journey to stardom. what motivates him and why women have the power to shake things up?
