For the purposes of nation-building, inclusion, and healing, media professionals should prioritize truth over generating clicks, as recommended by renowned broadcast journalist and mediapreneur Dr. John Momoh, OON.
"We must remember that we are not merely gatekeepers; we are architects of our national conscience," the media icon addressed a room full of diverse journalists, editors, and newsroom leaders from across Nigeria on Thursday, June 26, 2025.
They convened at the 2025 Nigerian Guild of Editors National Biennial Convention in Enugu State, Nigeria.
Dr. Momoh stated that the convention's theme, "Building a Secure and Cohesive Nigeria: The Role of Dialogue, Inclusion, and the Media," was carefully considered.
Dr. Momoh expertly analyzed each independent variable of the theme with both passion and precision, inspiring those present to contribute to Nigeria's healing and rebuilding efforts.
"This is more than just a topic; it's a national conversation—both timely and necessary," he remarked.
To foster unity in Nigeria, Dr. Momoh, the Chairman and CEO of Channels Media Group, highlighted again the media's responsibility to listen to those who feel overlooked and include them in national discussions.
He stated, "Nation-building involves more than just unity—it's also about empathy, as healing starts with being truly heard."
