The city of Benghazi has recently hosted a remarkable event: the First Annual Arab Media Conference, which brought together prominent journalists, broadcasters, and content creators from across the Arab world. Far more than a professional gathering, this conference became a genuine platform for exchanging ideas and tackling some of the most pressing issues facing Arab media today — from digital transformation to the pursuit of credibility.
Thanks to its excellent organization and spirit of collaboration, Benghazi transformed during the conference into a grand stage for media dialogue, buzzing with creativity and meaningful debate. The presence of well-known media figures, along with their heartfelt visit to the mausoleum of Omar Al-Mukhtar, Libya’s enduring symbol of resistance and freedom, underscored the city’s rich history and its renewed vitality.
What makes this event truly special is the message of hope it carries: that Libya is regaining its place in the Arab media landscape, and that Benghazi, in particular, has all the potential to become a hub for innovation and open dialogue. With its rich themes and diverse participants, the conference highlighted that media is not only a tool for delivering news but also a bridge for fostering peace, understanding, and shared identity.
The success of Benghazi’s First Annual Arab Media Conference is a powerful call to invest in such initiatives. It demonstrates how cooperation and a belief in the power of truthful words can revive cities and ignite positive change.
