Media Matters for Democracy works on media literacy and development, digital democracy, progressive media, and internet regulation in Pakistan.The main premise of our work is to push for a truly independent and inclusive public interest media that can contribute to public good.
We also work on acceptance and integration of digital media and journalism technologies and towards creating sustainable ‘media-tech’ initiatives in the country. As a by-product of our main work, we produce civic technology aimed at addressing various [media] related challenges, host a range of journalism training courses, produce journalistic content and facilitate multiple stakeholders and community engagement forums.
MMfD recognises diversity and inclusion as a core value of democracy and thus all our programs have a strong focus on fostering values and skills that enable and empower women, minority communities, and other marginalised groups.
