MISA Malawi is informing its current and prospective members that membership subscription for 2020 is due.
MISA Malawi would also like to inform the membership that the 2019 Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Mzuzu made a resolution to raise subscription fees for both individual and institutional members except community media outlets.
The membership structure and fee are as follows:
- Individual membership
This is open to any member working in a private, community or public media institution, human rights activists, people working in media training institutions, communication field, and individuals who subscribe to MISA Malawi ideals. Members of disciplined forces such as the police or security agents cannot become members.
Individual membership fee stands at K15,000 (US$21) during membership renewal period which runs up to March 31. Membership lodged after this date is K20,000 (US$28) with the additional MK5,000 (US$7)) being late registration fee.
