*(Re)setting Online Narrative on Africa panel/session*
While efforts are being made to increase connectivity on the continent,
what type of content is available on African issues? Who is creating this
content and who is consuming it? Is this content a true representation of
Africa and its people or does it perpetuate long-established
misrepresentations and stereotypes?
This session will look at efforts underway to address the local content gap
online, the extent to which language access is reflected in unmet user
needs, the importance of localizing and prioritizing Internet education
tools and the limitations of localization as a band-aid for the lack of
local content support, and how improving representation can improve access.
Panel participant: Sandister Tei /Speaking from a journalistic and
Wikimedian perspective
Thank you.
