Protecting Media Freedom, Promoting Ethical Journalism, and Strengthening Public Access to Information
Media plays a powerful role in shaping public opinion, promoting transparency, and strengthening democracy. Our Media and Development Law Initiatives support organizations working to protect press freedom, ensure access to information, promote ethical reporting, and defend journalists and media workers facing legal challenges.
We collaborate with NGOs, media advocacy groups, legal aid networks, and development organizations to provide funding, training, litigation support, and policy research. Our initiative addresses issues like media rights, digital safety, misinformation, content regulation, community media development, and freedom of expression.
By supporting legal empowerment, capacity-building, and responsible journalism, we aim to strengthen democratic values and protect the rights of media professionals and citizens seeking truthful information.
