International Media Support

Mission & Goals

IMS envisions societies that are peaceful, just, equitable and inclusive. In these, people have the freedom to express themselves, access to information and are empowered by public interest content to hold those in power to account. The impact IMS is working towards is “that public interest journalists, content producers and media provide targeted audiences – including marginalised and underserved communities – with access to reliable information and inclusive public debate that allow audiences to act, to participate in public life and to claim their rights by holding those in power to account.” Working in partnership is at the core of IMS’ approach to media development, as well as a comprehensive and locally led media development approach to the global work.
