\u201cPartnership between media and think tanks can do more than help build consensus. It can also strengthen the overall development of emerging economies and provide new momentum for advancing reforms in global governance.”<\/p>\n
She added that at a time when false information spreads easily and trust in evidence-based, accurate reporting is eroding, think tanks must move away from the outdated notion that \u201cresearch and publications alone are enough to solve problems.\u201d According to her, cooperation between think tanks and the media in the Global South is essential. Think tanks should be able to convey their ideas and perspectives in the right format, at the right moment, and to the right audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeaders in the Global North seek to keep control over the information space. For that reason, think tanks and media networks in the Global South must assume part of the responsibility and mobilize efforts to strengthen the South\u2019s position,\u201d Professor Allahyarova emphasized.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the results of cooperation, she recalled that the first Global South Media and Think Tanks Forum was held last year in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn just a single year, we have witnessed a much deeper and more structured dialogue among media organizations in the Global South. This has amplified the South\u2019s voice and challenged the dominant narrative traditionally shaped by Western media,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
According to Professor Allahyarova, cooperation between think tanks and the media in the Global South has already produced tangible results through the Forum platform.<\/p>\n
\u201cVarious forms of collaboration established within the Forum \u2014 the signing of joint documents, consensus statements, and declarations, as well as the exchange of experience in scientific and technological innovation, modernization, and cultural development, including learning from China\u2019s practices \u2014 all of these are concrete outcomes of the Forum and provide strong support for addressing global challenges,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She added that \u201cthrough joint efforts, shared scientific achievements, the exchange of information, and in-depth discussions on major global issues, media and think tanks are contributing to consensus-building through dialogue and giving a clear impetus to strengthening South\u2013South cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
