PAMRO 2015 in Tanzania offers top media research speakers
Chairman of PAMRO, Josiah Kamanzi says that the organisation is proud to be hosting speakers from South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, the UK, France, Sweden, Spain, the UAE and the US.
Among these and possibly leading the South African delegation of speakers is Neil Higgs, the Chief Innovation Partner at TNS SA, who specialises in new ways of understanding and measuring different aspects of people's lives. He will discuss the development of three levels of a new lifestyle measurement method, which has resulted from a 20-country 32 400 respondent dataset from Afro-barometer.
Higgs presentation will outline the development and validation of the measures and provide data on the 20 countries that were included in the survey. PAMRO members will have the scoring system and questions available for use.
Also speaking on the advantages of electronic audience measurement systems is Laurence Chausson and Pushkar Kulkarni of Kantor Media in the UK while Rehema Muniu of Ipsos MediaCT in Kenya will discuss the opportunities to Africa's ongoing migration from analogue to digital TV and the challenges it presents to stakeholders.
Another added benefit to attending the conference is the chance to participate in a training session with leading media research educator, Graham Mytton of Audience Research Training and Consultancy in the UK. He will review the basic techniques of social research, both qualitative and quantitative which often gets lost in the evolution of sophisticated online research methods that still require traditional validation.
