Summary: Mobile banking, social networks, mobile medical applications...all these new media technologies and more are enabling social change on the continent of Africa at a rapid pace. It's an exciting moment of discovery and innovation! Inspired by this new digital and creative energy, we decided to take a closer look in this month's podcast at the state of new and social media in Africa today. We welcomed Cédric Kalonji, renowned Congolese blogger and journalist, Renée Kaplan, multimedia and broadcast media consultant and former editor at France 24, and Ilan Moss, editor and new media consultant at the World Health Organization, to our studio to share their views on this issue as well as their best practices when it comes to leveraging social media and new media in Africa
