The hidden pollution of the digital age
In today’s digital world, content creation connects people and shapes ideas across the globe. Yet behind every captivating video and online campaign lies an unseen cost; the environmental toll of digital production. From high-energy data centres and AI systems to the rise of electronic waste, the digital industry contributes to pollution and climate change. As technology grows, the media sector faces a key challenge: creating meaningful stories while protecting the planet. Sustainable practices like local filming, energy-saving methods, and eco-friendly materials can help reduce this impact. When creativity meets environmental responsibility, digital media can become a powerful tool for positive change and a greener future.
From boardrooms to zoom rooms
COVID-19 redefined how people meet, work, and communicate. What began as a global crisis soon became a turning point for connection and collaboration, pushing the world into digital spaces that reshaped everyday life. Virtual meetings and hybrid events replaced traditional gatherings, offering flexibility and inclusion like never before. In the workplace, hybrid models emerged as a new norm, blending the freedom of remote work with the collaboration of office life.

The importance of diverse voices in shaping stories
Stories have power. They influence how we see the World, our beliefs, and even the choices made by leaders.

From the moment we wake up to the time we go to bed, we use technology in some way or another” said knbbs-sharer.
Storytelling in the digital era: Building connection beyond the scroll
The art of storytelling remains an important tool for creativity, while also serving as a pathway for teaching and learning, especially in the digital era. Forbes notes that people are naturally drawn to stories because they evoke emotions, build empathy, and make information easier to relate to. When a brand tells a story, it forms a deeper connection with its audience, building trust, belonging, and loyalty.
After Racial Change, a Gender Wall: Reuters Institute Fellowship Paper
South Africa’s newsrooms no longer look like they did under apartheid. By 2018, women made up 49% of staff across media houses, with big players such as Media24 (57%), Tiso Blackstar (54%), and the SABC (50%) reporting female-dominated workforces. The transformation by race has also been significant: black journalists now form the majority in most newsrooms.
