Internews Network

Internews is an international non-profit organisation that supports open media worldwide. The organisation’s goal is to foster independent media in emerging democracies, produce innovative television and radio programming and Internet content, and use the media to reduce conflict within and between countries. Internews’ activities include training of media professionals in various countries, supporting the development of independent media and media associations and the production of TV and radio programmes. They have an increased focus on media policy reform and issues involving ownership, access, censorship, development assistance, journalistic ethics, consumer education, and the digital divide. The Internews Network has regional offices in 24 countries worldwide. Internews programmes are based on the conviction that vigorous and diverse mass media form an essential cornerstone of a free and open society. In 1999 they developed ‘Reporting for Peace’ a special training programme for journalists who work in regions of conflict. The course teaches how reporting can reduce tension and encourage warring parties to explore peaceful approaches to resolving conflict.
