Opening Journalism
Share
 

Quality independent media plays a crucial role in ensuring government transparency and accountability as well as in empowering vulnerable and marginalized groups through awareness-raising and exposing government abuses. OSGF aims at empowering public interest and political influence free media in order to make quality journalism accessible for citizens.

Throughout 2017-2020 OSGF will cooperate with independent analytical and investigative journalists and those producing daily news online. 

OSGF will continue to assist its partner media to improve management practices and boost sales capacity through training and consultancy.

The Opening Journalism direction will target minorities as well. In 2017-2020, the foundation plans to enhance its support for journalistic endeavors in ethnic minority communities. We will encourage initiatives of producing fresh and authentic local content in minority languages. This should take the form of compelling narratives on social, economic, and political issues within the community and across the country.

As a member of Media Advocacy Coalition the Foundation will keep on for advocating rights of journalists and improving media environment in Georgia.
