Promoting a diverse, inclusive and accurate media
With sister organisations in London, Brussels, Belgrade, Yerevan and Gloucester (US), the Media Diversity Institute (MDI) works internationally to promote accurate and nuanced reporting on issues of race, religion, ethnicity, class, disability, gender and sexual identity in media landscapes around the world.
While our work is grounded in the principles of freedom of expression and the values of diversity and inclusion, our day-to-day focus is on cultivating practical skills to combat negative stereotypes and disinformation, and to improve media and information literacy.
Throughout the month of July, we will be taking you through MDI’s projects and activities, showing you what we do, how we do it and why we do it.
We will be publishing information about the teams behind our activities and showcasing some of the resources we are most proud of.
