BRICS and partner states' media leaders hold “Global Media Briefing” to mark BRICS 20th anniversary

In May 2026, heads of leading media outlets from three continents will gather for the first time at a “Global Media Briefing”. This is a special project by TV BRICS marking the 20th anniversary of the BRICS group. Media managers from different countries will share their views on building a multipolar system of global communications, shaping a unified global agenda and will offer forecasts on the evolution of the media landscape. All expert materials will be available to a broad international audience on the TV BRICS portal and television channels.

Argentina, Brazil, Egypt, Zimbabwe, India, Indonesia, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, China, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Chile, Ethiopia, and South Africa have already confirmed their participation in the “Global Media Briefing”. Among the first to be released on TV BRICS will be interviews with Ali Muhammad Ali, CEO of the News Agency of Nigeria (Nigeria); Leonardo Sobreira, Executive Editor of the Brasil 247 (Brazil); Maria Vlasova, Editor-in-Chief of the financial portal “Akchabar” (Kyrgyzstan), and Huang Yichang, Editor-in-Chief of the Russian Service of CGTN, China Media Group.

"Media partners of TV BRICS from different countries have been writing the encyclopaedia of BRICS for 20 years. All events of domestic and foreign public policy are reflected in the mass media. At the same time, the media have not only documented history but have also undergone their own transformation – through digitalisation, the growing role of social media, and the rapid acceleration of all communication processes. This is how new journalism has been shaped and the modern media landscape created. Our partners are highly professional, possessing unique expertise and deep analytical insight, and their experience is invaluable. We organised the ‘Global Media Briefing' to intensify dialogue among those who directly influence the objectivity of the consolidated BRICS agenda, and therefore the overall climate of international relations"

Janna Tolstikova CEO of TV BRICS

Materials from the “Global Media Briefing” will be published twice a month in various media formats: on the TV BRICS news feed, in the BRICS Life section, and in the television programme “BRICSterview”. The media project will run throughout 2026.

Interviews with experts from Eurasian countries will be published in the “Greater Eurasian Editorial Media Briefing” section by the information and analytical outlet “Eurasia Today” to mark its 25th anniversary. Materials from the media project will also be available on the platforms of other TV BRICS partners in different countries around the world.

Today, more than 100 media organisations from over 30 countries cooperate with TV BRICS on a permanent basis, while the media network’s information presence reaches 80 countries.
