The Forum will present discussions on the role of the media for local-global representations of the Global South community; South Africa-China relations: Local engagements, impacts and developments in society; Africa's responses to China's global engagements; Africa's responses to the US-China relations; Africa's responses to the climate crisis and climate change; the Impacts of the Just Transition in local community groups and women; Digital innovations from Chinese and US investors in Africa; Reports on the African media landscape looking at West, East, Southern and North Africa; Artificial Intelligence (AI) Geopolitics in Media and Practice; and Africa-China visual representations in media and society.

This year's ACRP Journalists Forum programme will also showcase the ACRP Photo Exhibition which will bring a collection of winning images from across Africa that best encapsulate applicants’ interpretation of “Africa–China” relations from a ground level, people-to people engagement perspective. First, Second and Third place winners to the Photo Exhibition submissions will also be announced. A panel discussion featuring the judges of the photo submissions will be held, assessing the impact of visual representations of Africa-China relations on the media and society.

The Africa-China Reporting Project has since its establishment in 2009, aimed to improve the quality of reporting on African & Africa-China relations by providing facilitation and capacity building for journalists and researchers. This is accorded through the awarding of reporting grants, facilitating skills training workshops, reporting resources and other opportunities to journalists and researchers. The ACRP, at its main objective, focuses support amplifying Africa’s perspectives to enhance its development.
