Social Responsibility in Media

Hi everyone, I work for an organization in Bolivia works with youth and media in the promotion of human rights. We're part of a network that is developing a media monitoring index to help support Latin American countries to transition to more socially responsible coverage that supports human rights and a culture of peace. I've looked at the Freedom House and Digital Access Index and am wondering if anyone knows of any others that focus more on social responsibility, dialog and quality of media coverage? Any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers, April

I am attending a debate on the 11th September on "The adversarial principle in society - Politics and the media". I am hoping this debate will touch upon this issue.

Also have a look at the www.bothand.org project which I came across from William Ury's website.

Regards

Neil

Thought you might find this site from a conference last year at Harvard on human rights in the media a useful resource: http://www.humanrightsandmedia.com. I'd be happy to try to put you in touch with participants whose experience seems especially relevant to Bolivia if you'd be interested? Best of luck and curious to learn more about the group you are currently working with...

Hi There,

You work sounds super interesting and is something I would like to pursue too. From my limited research of integrating conflict resolution, human rights and media, I know that http://www.witness.org/ has interesting projects worth noticing. Also, I recently learned of http://ict4peace.org/home-1.html The website has good resource materials.

Good luck with your project and I hope you will keep me updated.

Best wishes,

Amina.
