LILONGWE, Malawi (Planet Defence) – Board of Directors of the World Federation of Science Journalists (WFSJ) based in Montreal, at their meeting held last Friday approved the application request of the Association of Environment and Science Journalists (AEJ) in Malawi to be its affiliate member number 72 of the institution.

As a specialised media institution AEJ was established in 2010. It aims to support Malawi's development of an environmentally sustainable society by fostering a vibrant and robust media.

According to AEJ’s strategic plan 2023-2033, the world’s ecosystems are under constant attack and pressure, mostly as a result of largely human induced activities. 

Environment and scientific research, coupled with strategic communication are more important than ever before to help create informed and positive perspectives from the society. 

“This is in line with our strategic plan and we need that level of proactiveness,” said AEJ President, Mathews Malata in a reaction to the development.

WFSJ welcomes members from all over the world to have both positive and productive dialogue on all aspects of science journalism, including but not limited to research advancements, challenges, opportunities, and trends.
