An all-Africa editors' forum is to be established. Editors from all over the continent met at a two-day conference in Midrand, an initiative of the SA National Editors' Forum (Sanef). A steering committee, including regional representatives and convened by Mathatha Tsedu, the Sanef chairperson, was nominated to further develop the idea of the continent-wide forum. According to a declaration drafted at the conference, the editors agreed that Africa and African issues should get prominent media coverage.
