Mozambican Journalists Face Challenges in Combating AI-Generated Disinformation
Reporting style, Informative: Primarily reported and attributed to journalists and organizations, with limited evaluative framing.
AI-generated disinformation is an emerging concern in Mozambique, where Facebook and WhatsApp are major channels for manipulated text, images, and video. Journalists and MISA Mozambique report weak newsroom verification protocols, limited digital literacy among the public, gaps in journalism curricula, and inadequate access to devices and internet. Some journalists use free online services and browser extensions to detect synthetic content, but training and resources remain uneven. MISA Mozambique is providing training and developing a collaborative platform for fact-checkers and journalists, while practitioners call for stronger skills, investment, and cooperation with technology companies.
Mozambican Women Journalists: The Struggle to Break Gender Stereotypes in Newsrooms
Reporting style, Informative: Mostly factual reporting with quotes and a clear advocacy emphasis on gender equality and safer, more equitable newsrooms.
Women make up only 27% of newsroom staff in Mozambique, according to a 2023 H2N study covering 60 media outlets, and are especially underrepresented in print media. Journalists describe family and workplace prejudice, sexual harassment, unequal access to assignments, and the need to prove their competence more than male colleagues. Experienced reporters Rosa Nguane, Conceição Matende, and Ângela Fonseca have helped broaden coverage of women’s rights and encouraged future journalists. H2N coordinator Sheynise Musé and Fonseca call for newsroom policies that expand women’s employment and training, prevent harassment, ensure safe workplaces, and support women in leadership.
