Empowering Independent Media, Second Edition

Written By Cate Urban

Year: 2012 | Publication: Center for International Media Assistance

As before, this edition of Empowering Independent Media draws on lessons from around the world, but its primary focus, given the mandate of the Center for International Media Assistance (CIMA), is on U.S. efforts. This new report examines seven central areas of media development—funding, digital media, sustainability, media law, safety, education, and monitoring and evaluation. The report also delves in-depth into four areas deserving of greater attention: citizen journalism, investigative journalism, community radio, and media literacy. In addition, there are briefs on such topics as raising professional standards, bribery among journalists, covering corruption, transparency in government communications, the Pentagon’s information operations, China’s global media initiative, lessons from Eastern Europe, troubles in Latin America, and the World Journalism Education Census.
