Renowned Eric Chinje will be among the guests of honor on October 30, 2015 at Erich-Brost-Institute, Dortmund to present a paper on media and migration from a global perspective during an international press forum organized by Africa Positive International Magazine and sponsored by Deutchewelle and the German Interior Ministry.

In the past months, political and public debate across Europe has been dominated by the ever-increasing wave of migrants from the Middle East and Africa.

The conference will focus on migration from Africa and take a closer look at the role of the media – both in Africa and in Europe. Eric Chinje is also expected to present a talk on how African media reports and frame the current massive exodus to the West.

The conference will inter alia examine how the European media houses cope with the challenges of covering the dramatic events at home and in the Mediterranean sea as well as the political and economic situation in the migrants’ home countries.

Eric Chinje is a long-standing Cameroonian journalist and former Editor-in-Chief of the Cameroon Radio and Television.
