Krüger); Jönköping University ( Tallert); Folke Bernadotte Academy, or FBA ( Fritzon) "...just as environmental sustainability has posed systemic questions about the way economics, markets, societies and politics are structured, sustainable journalism also poses systemic questions about how journalism as an industry within specific media ecosystems and contexts is structured." This policy brief from the Consortium to Promote Human Rights, Civic Freedoms and Media Development (CHARM) Africa and Fojo Media Institute seeks to critically explore the concept of sustainable journalism (SJ), a relatively new concept that combines reporting about sustainability with sustainability related to the media business model. The brief seeks to define what the concept could entail in a sub-Saharan context and investigates the implications for media development in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The findings outlined in the report are based on stakeholder discussions that were held with relevant media actors in four countries in SSA as part of the work of CHARM, which is a group of six organisations working to protect and expand the civic space for civil society organisations and human rights defenders and to nurture and enhance the effectiveness of independent media and journalism in the region.
