African-built AI-powered PR intelligence system to support real-time global, continental and Nigerian media monitoring for the World Public Relations Forum

LAGOS, Nigeria, Aug. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) has appointed AGENTPR™, the AI-powered media intelligence platform developed by Cihan Media Communications, as the Official Media Intelligence Platform for the 2026 World Public Relations Forum (WPRF) Abuja.

The appointment forms part of NIPR’s preparations for WPRF Abuja 2026, the global public relations gathering scheduled to hold in Nigeria from 15–21 November 2026. Under the partnership, AGENTPR™ will provide structured media intelligence before, during and after the Forum, covering real-time issue detection, media monitoring across multiple platforms, and international trade press tracking.

The partnership represents a significant milestone for African public relations technology. It positions AGENTPR™ as an African-built intelligence infrastructure supporting one of the world’s most important public relations convenings, at a time when reputation, trust, visibility and machine-readable authority are becoming central to how institutions are understood.

Speaking on the appointment, Dr. Celestine Ngozichukwuka Achi, mnipr, Founder and CEO of Cihan Media Communications and Founder of AGENTPR™, said the platform will help NIPR and the WPRF Planning Committee read the full narrative environment around Nigeria’s hosting of the Forum.

“Through this partnership, AGENTPR™ provides NIPR leadership and the WPRF organising structure with real-time visibility into the global, continental and domestic media narrative,” Dr. Achi said. “This is not simply media monitoring. It is meaning-aware intelligence designed to help leaders understand what is being said, what it means, where issues may be emerging, and how Nigeria’s WPRF legacy is being represented.”

AGENTPR™ is built on Meaning Intelligence™, a communications intelligence architecture that goes beyond conventional sentiment analysis. It is designed to examine tone, context, stakeholder intent, reputational risk, narrative movement and cultural nuance, especially in African communication environments where literal sentiment labels often miss deeper meaning.

For WPRF Abuja 2026, the platform will support continuous tracking of Nigerian media, African coverage, international trade press, broadcast signals, social conversation and emerging issues. The intelligence output will help NIPR monitor visibility, identify risks early, assess stakeholder perception, and document the reputation impact of the Forum across its full lifecycle.

Dr. Achi said the appointment also reflects a broader shift in the future of public relations measurement.

“Visibility is no longer enough. In the AI age, institutions must understand how they are being interpreted by people, by media systems and increasingly by AI systems. AGENTPR™ was created to help communication leaders move from exposure to evidence, from sentiment to meaning, and from monitoring to strategic intelligence.”

The President and Chairman of Council of NIPR, Dr. Ike Neliaku, described the recent partnership agreements signed by NIPR as a statement of commitment towards giving the world the “Biggest, Brightest and Boldest WPRF.”

With AGENTPR™ as the Official Media Intelligence Platform, WPRF Abuja 2026 will be supported by a dedicated intelligence layer designed to track narratives, detect issues, interpret media meaning and preserve the Forum’s legacy as Nigeria hosts the global public relations community.

AGENTPR™ is an AI-powered media intelligence and public relations intelligence platform developed by Cihan Media Communications. Built on Meaning Intelligence™, it helps organisations monitor media narratives, interpret stakeholder signals, detect reputational risk, track authority signals and produce decision-ready communication intelligence.

Full-resolution transparent PNG downloads stay free with no account and no watermarks, while most tools in the category reserve full-quality exports for registered or paying users.

RICHMOND, BC, Aug. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Jukebox, the online printing company named Best Overall by Forbes Advisor and a New York Times Wirecutter pick, today announced the most powerful release yet of its free remove background tool, which has delivered millions of free image downloads. The update adds free 4x HD image upscaling built directly into the download step, raises the maximum upload size to 25MB per photo, and supports batches of up to 50 images at once. Every export is a full-resolution transparent PNG, free, with no account, no watermark and no locked download quality.

That last part is what sets the tool apart. Jukebox’s background remover is one of the only free background removal tools that exports full-resolution transparent PNGs with no signup, no account and no watermarks. Across the category, full-quality downloads are typically reserved for registered or paying users, with free versions capped at reduced resolution. Jukebox has taken the opposite position: the full-resolution result is the free product, for every user, on every image.

The new image upscaler is the headline addition. Once a background has been removed, users can enlarge and sharpen the final cutout up to 4x before downloading, turning small or low-resolution photos into files clean enough for large-format use. It works on hair, shadows and fine edge detail, and it runs inside the same workflow, so nothing has to be moved into a second application.

The update also expands the tool’s creative range with Effects 3.0: new filters, layered outlines that can be stacked and reordered, custom and gradient strokes, wavy and jagged edges, fades and paper cutout effects. Users can add text, mask images into shapes, apply shadows, pull from stock photography, upload their own backgrounds or generate new ones with AI, making the background remover the center of a complete creative workflow rather than a single-purpose utility.

What no other tool in the category offers is where the workflow ends. A finished cutout can be sent directly into the Jukebox Sticker Maker, where die-cut lines are generated automatically, and from there produced as professionally printed custom stickers. From a photo on a phone to a printed product at the door, the entire pipeline runs through one free tool.

The background remover supports JPG, PNG and WebP files and is available now at jukeboxprint.com, free to use with no registration required.
