We work with everyone – in civil society, government, academic and corporate sectors – in our areas of expertise: information, education and communication.
We offer our services and products on a non-profit-making, cost-recovery basis. In exceptional circumstances, we use our savings to subsidise those who are unable to pay even a nominal amount.
We are a journalistically driven, secular and non-political organisation. But we do take clear positions on basic issues such as freedom of expression, democratic pluralism and the people's right to information.
We are firmly committed to the following:
| • |
Freedom of expression and media freedom not unduly restricted by governments, corporations or pressure groups |
| • |
Access to information in the public interest |
| • |
Expanding the ‘space’ for public interest broadcasting in the Asia Pacific (irrespective of broadcast ownership) |
| • |
Promoting open, evidence-based discussion and debate on sustainable development, humanitarian and social justice issues |
| • |
Communicating complex, technical issues in popular language through engaging media formats |
| • |
Strengthening the capacity of media professionals and media institutions to better cover
these issues |
| • |
Raising public understanding and awareness on development issues, problems, solutions and alternatives |
| • |
Using broadcast and new media for effective public communication before, during and after disasters to help create more resilient societies |
| • |
Using television, video and web more strategically for communicating on development, humanitarian and social issues |
| • |
More participatory and inclusive ways of communicating |
|
Advocacy matches practice
Believing that we must be the change we advocate, our work reflects these positions that we advocate at regional and global levels.
