Research partners
The European Journalism Centre (EJC) is a non-profit foundation based in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Founded in 1992, it has been working independently to support, strengthen and develop journalism in Europe. The EJC believes that resilient, inclusive and progressive media not only delivers better journalism, but also produces many forms of public benefit that make governments and societies function better and strengthen democracy.
Global Forum for Media Development (GFMD) is a leading global community for media development, media freedom and journalism support. Through collaboration, coordination and collective action, its network of 147 member organisations — as well as dozens of partners — creates, promotes and delivers policies and programmes to sustain journalism as a public good. GFMD envisages a world in which democracy, human rights and sustainable development benefit from a pluralistic and informed public sphere underpinned by free, independent and viable public-interest media and journalism.
Media and Journalism Research Center (MJRC) is an independent media research and policy think tank which seeks to improve the quality of media policymaking and the state of independent media and journalism through research, knowledge sharing and financial support. MJRC continues the work of the Center for Media, Data & Society (CMDS), which until October 2022 operated as a unit of Central European University (CEU).
International Media Support (IMS) is one of the largest media development organisations in the Nordic region. It works in more than 30 countries across four continents, promoting press freedom, good journalism and safety for journalists. IMS aims to create safer media environments with sound laws for journalists in countries where press freedom and other human rights are in dire straits. Its work is based on long-term engagements tailored to the local country contexts in which it seeks to make a difference, always in partnership with local and international media actors.
