The media play a central role in modern societies because they represent a primary source of information and are a main provider of entertainment for large numbers of people. As a result, the media make
a decisive impact on the political, economic, social and cultural activities of people and institutions, bringing about new behavioural
and cultural patterns as well as, help to shape individual opinion, notions and beliefs.

The NYMC Summit is a response to a recently-realized major demand of
the general populace; the need for good governance in all institutions, be it private or public. In all countries and especially
in democracies, the media can play a key role in promoting good governance in the society.

This project is aimed at helping young people in the Media attain professional standards and practices at the managerial, editorial, production and programming levels. It is also aimed at bringing to the
fore the public recognition of Media organisations’ commitment to the
highest professional practices and ethics.
