Good journalism. Better societies.

IMS (International Media Support) pushes for quality journalism, challenges repressive laws and keeps media workers of all genders safe, so that they can do their jobs. Through alliances and innovation, we help free, independent media contribute to positive change and better societies.

What we do

IMS combines rapid response with long-term efforts to create a foundation of trust and collaboration on the ground. We work together with our partners to find local solutions to global problems – and global solutions to local problems.

Where we work

With partners in more than 30 countries, IMS works where independent media is at the greatest risk: in countries experiencing armed conflict, humanitarian crises, rapid political change or authoritarian rule.
