I had the opportunity to moderate a panel discussion on September 24, 2009 in my capacity as the Africa Fellow at Georgetown University’s Center for Social Impact Communication (CSIC). The event, in collaboration with theGeorgetown Africa Interest Network, raised many questions about the historical context in which Africa has been communicated and the potential digital provides to change that.

Read more about the discussion as captured by CSIC’s livebloggers here.

One.org also had a great blog post about the event.
