Camasej BUEA Chapter

The commemoration of World Press Freedom Day 2026 may have passed, but the conversation and the responsibility continues.

Over the weekend, the Cameroon Association of English-Speaking Journalists Camasej BUEA Chapter convened a powerful roundtable discussion under this year’s global theme:
“Shaping a Future at Peace: The Role of Media in Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding.”

In a context like Cameroon’s, where information can either inflame tensions or foster understanding, the role of a free, ethical, and responsible press cannot be overstated.

We were honored to host a distinguished panel of experts who dissected both the theme and the lived realities of journalism in Cameroon:
• Mkong Imma: Peace advocate, researcher, and journalist, who emphasized the urgency of conflict-sensitive reporting and the role of youth-led peace-building initiatives.
• Dr. Henry Mekole: Senior journalist and Editor-in-Chief at CRTV Buea, who explored the intersection of digital media, elections reporting, and peace building.
• Dr. Munjah Vitalis: Scholar and Senior Lecturer at the University of Buea, who provided critical insights into governance, political narratives, and the broader socio-political landscape shaping media practice.

Beyond the panel, the round table brought together journalism students and practicing journalists from various media houses in Buea, creating a vibrant space for mentorship, knowledge exchange, and inter-generational dialogue.

As we reflect, one message stands clear:
A free press is not a privilege; it is a pillar of democracy, accountability, and peace.

CAMASEJ Buea remains committed to defending press freedom, strengthening ethical journalism, and equipping media professionals to report responsibly in complex environments.

More updates, key takeaways, and highlights from the commemoration will be shared in the coming days. Stay connected.

Today, we proudly join the global community in commemorating under the timely theme:
“Reporting in the Brave New World: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Press Freedom and the Media.”
As English-speaking journalists in Cameroon, we stand at the intersection of tradition and innovation; where the truth must remain our compass, even as AI transforms the way we work.
At CAMASEJ-Buea, we honor the resilience, courage, and integrity of every journalist who continues to inform, investigate, and inspire, often in the face of increasing threats to press freedom.
May this day serve as a call to action to defend the truth, uphold ethical journalism, and use artificial intelligence as a tool, not a threat, in our shared mission to protect free and responsible media.
To every journalist in our chapter and across the nation: your work matters. Your voice matters. The world is listening.
