Media Support

Programme Objectives


Through this programme area, MISA aims to contribute to the improvement of media standards through excellence in journalism, which includes gender sensitive reporting
. This will be done through media awards and selective training programmes, like election reporting, based on the accessed needs

of media practitioners. The scholarship program will be continue to be administered to enhance the skills of journalists.

MISA will continue to promote the establishment of self-regulation mechanism as the preferred option to statutory councils which are favoured by governments. The program will also draw in freelance journalists to endorse and practice code of ethics. Through various observation and desktop research it is shown that media ethics is mostly violated by freelance journalists as they lack institutional support, back up and proper training.

Programme Goals

This program consists of number of media support projects which are media professionalism, gender in the media, HIV AND AIDS in the media and elections and the media. Back
