In a democracy, the most powerful tool is not the ballot — it’s information. Here’s why media literacy matters more than ever in Botswana.
A well-informed citizen is the foundation of any thriving democracy. At Mmegi Publishing Trust (MPT), we believe that access to accurate information empowers individuals to question, participate, and hold power to account.
Botswana’s media landscape continues to evolve, yet misinformation and apathy remain growing challenges. Through training programmes, publications, and collaborations, MPT works to strengthen ethical journalism and promote media literacy among youth.
When citizens understand how to engage with information critically, they become active participants in shaping their communities. The pursuit of truth is not just a journalist’s duty — it’s a collective responsibility.
