The Center for Media and Society programmes are in six key areas:
-
- Governance: explores issues that help promote good governance such as the defense of media rights and freedom of expression, skills development for media, civil society to professionally engage governance processes and institutions, and government personnel.
- Pluralism: engages the themes of democratization of media/communication processes and institutions; popular access to a diversity of media institutions; the professional management of the media as market successes and viable institutions.
