This year, Egypt Media Forum addresses one of the most urgent challenges facing journalism today: How can media organizations prepare for 2030? As artificial intelligence reshapes content creation, data becomes integral to editorial and business strategy, and traditional revenue models need to evolve, the need for forward-looking planning is more critical than ever. The forum will present successful global newsroom models that highlight best practices in innovation and long-term sustainability - offering practical insights for media professionals seeking to navigate and lead through the decade ahead.
