The Association of Digital Media Core Advocates (ADMCA), a pan-Nigeria media advocacy group, has adopted November 27 as Anambra Media Day. A statement issued by the group on Monday in Awka said that “Anambra Media Day will be an annual event that celebrates and brings awareness to the importance of upholding media ethics amongst the millions of citizen journalists who tell their beautiful and unique stories from diverse platforms reflective of the times.”

Anambra Media Day will be officially launched tomorrow, Wednesday, November 27, 2019 at Best Western Meloch Hotel, Ifite, Awka, Anambra State, during the 2019 edition of the Anambra Media Excellence Awards. The event kicks off at 3pm.

“The Anambra Media Day will be celebrated all through the state by anyone who wants to ensure that the media landscape remains inclusive for all TV, film, Radio, Online and mobile device artists. The idea basically is to ensure that everyone is made a responsible stakeholder of the revolutionary media environment being entrenched by technology. This yearly celebration will draw attention to our roles as citizens or practitioners. Anambra Media Day has been integrated into November 27 which is significant as the birth anniversaries of the literary giant, Chinua Achebe and Great Zik of Africa, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe,” read a press statement from the ADMCA secretariat at Awka.
