PSM Joins BRIDGE Media Summit 2025, Secures Content-Sharing Partnership with Viory

Public Service Media (PSM) Chairperson Aminath Namza is participating in the BRIDGE Media Summit 2025, one of the world’s largest global gatherings for media, journalism, technology, and creative industries. The Summit, held from 7–11 December at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), brings together over 60,000 participants, 430 international speakers, and hundreds of exhibitors and media organizations. The event focuses on the rapid evolution of global media, covering topics like journalism, artificial intelligence, digital storytelling, film production, the creator economy, and newsroom innovation. During the Summit, Chairperson Namza signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoU) with Viory, a global digital media and news-exchange platform. The MoU aims to strengthen news exchange, capacity building, and international visibility for Maldivian stories. Viory will provide PSM with free access to high-quality international content, which will be added to the National News Archive and made available to all Maldivian media outlets. Chairperson Namza highlighted the dual benefits of sharing Maldivian stories globally and gaining access to international content at no cost. She will continue to attend Summit sessions throughout the week, including discussions on newsroom innovation and next-generation media tools.
