Independent media worldwide faces crises: failing market conditions, the loss of ad revenue, and govt control. Private sector engagement is critical to saving it. Czechia, Romania and Serbia show how – @mariusdrag via @CIMA_Media.

More local voices are needed in discussions about combatting impunity against journalists. @CIMA_Media's @_sashaschroeder spoke with @zoetitus about her experience working with civil society in sub-Saharan Africa #mediadev #IDEI22

[CIMA @CIMA_Media]

When authorities themselves are to blame for attacks on journalists, what can be done to prosecute them?

How a lie spreads from 2014 to 2022 @gemmabmendoza #WM11Assembly

[Heather Gilberds @hgilberds]

@leopoldolopez: Previously 50% of movements for democracy were successful. Now, less than 10% succeed. International support and solidarity needed to sustain optimism for change. Reflections at #WM11Assembly relevant to recent @CIMA_Media research: https://t.co/qMPO3iWbmk
