Major Activities

Activity 2

Africa, Global Health and Humanitarian Media:Internews has trained thousands of journalists how to report on HIV/AIDS and other health issues through its Local Voices project, started in 2002 in Nigeria and Kenya and later expanded to other countries. In countries such as Sudan, Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo that have been affected by conflict, Internews provides training in how to report on violence and reconciliation issues in a way that promotes peace. For the past 20 years, Internews has been at the forefront of engaging local media during times of crisis, from working with new television outlets during the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, to conflict reporting programs during the Balkan wars in the mid-1990s, to launching a program to build a new media sector in Afghanistan in the early 2000s. We have continued delivering humanitarian information projects from Pakistan to Haiti and pushed, with others, the issue of communications with affected communities further into the humanitarian agenda.

Activity 3

Europe and Eurasia:We provide technical support to independent TV, radio, print, and online media sources in the region, train career and citizen journalists in professional, ethical journalism, and assist traditional media outlets to create interactive, multimedia online presences. We work with local media NGOs and associations to create active networks of media professionals, enabling them to speak out with one voice against censorship and repressive policies. We provide legal assistance to journalists and bloggers in trouble and advocate for free and open internet policies. Our work in the region creates opportunities for dialogue across borders, bringing colleagues from polarized societies together in collaborative exchanges.
