About Media Matters for Democracy

Media Matters for Democracy is a Pakistan based not-for-profit that works on media literacy and development, digital democracy, and progressive media and Internet regulation in Pakistan. We mainly work to ensure that the media and public alike have the tools and an enabling environment to exercise their fundamental rights and professional duties.

About the Team

Media Matters for Democracy was founded by a group of journalists geared towards media development and digital rights in Dec 2014. Over the years, after a number of likeminded individuals came on board, we have now become a team of journalists, activists, techies, designers, researchers, and lawyers striving together for a progressive media, communications, and digital spaces.
