According to one of the organizers, Maxensia Nanjula, the event will be used by scribes to know each other and unite for the cause, and devise means of confronting numerous challenges the media is currently faced with.

“We thought of something that can unite us as journalists and a dinner was considered,” Abubaker said.

“We shall use it to network and reconnect, as well as getting information from colleagues on the existing employment opportunities,” he added.

According to the organizers, tickets for the dinner will cost Shs 50,000 and Shs 400,000 for individuals and a table of 7 people respectively.

The night will also feature talks from practitioners who have made a mark in the media, with an aim of inspiring other journalists.
