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.
