JOIN THE MOVEMENT FOR MEDIA REFORM

Mainstream media aren’t working for us. Too many are owned by billionaire moguls and are uncomfortably close to government and commercial interests. They don’t represent a diverse range of people and views and they’re completely unaccountable to the audiences they’re supposed to serve. We believe that a flourishing, diverse and accountable media is essential for a healthy, functioning democracy.

For the price of just one cup of coffee per month, you can help support the growing movement for media democracy. Members get priority access to all our reports and events including the annual Media Democracy Festival, as well as being linked to national and local networks to organise on media reform issues.
