Watch The Gathering – Media Edition live

The Gathering Media Edition aims to bring the importance of media to the fore of South African society by highlighting its role at the intersection of Business, Politics, Advertising and Civil Society.

The Gathering Media Edition is not a media conference so much as a conference about media. It aims to ventilate the issues of government regulatory attempts, fake news, shifting business models and the duty of business and society to support local independent media in a time of dominance by global players.
