Gwen Lister

Gwen Lister (born 5 December 1953) is a Namibian journalist, publisher, anti-apartheid and press freedom activist. Quotes "I'd like to see good journalism triumph and find a way to sustain itself. I would like to see a more engaged African public who see the values of press freedom and access to information and how it can make them more informed citizens and better participants in their own democracies." the Internet era brought about what we hoped would be an era of democratization and free expression. But obviously there have been a lot of problems as well, such as disinformation." Social media has done some good things in terms of mass mobilization. But generally speaking, I'm not sure that the bad of social media with the digital tsunami of disinformation doesn't outweigh the good right now." External links Category: Living people
