Today, the United Nations in Bhutan welcomed leaders from Bhutan's traditional and digital media community for a UN–Media Editors' Brunch Meeting.

The dialogue explored how the United Nations and the media can work more closely to communicate Bhutan's development priorities, from climate action and disability inclusion to youth, mental health, food and nutrition security, and disaster preparedness, through stories that are people-centred, evidence-based, and relevant to today's audiences.

Participants also discussed practical ways to strengthen collaboration through thematic reporting, field-based storytelling, greater access to information, and regular dialogue.

Because behind every development goal is a human story worth telling.
