OUR MISSION
We are a 21st century data utility at the nexus of media, technology and regulation. As such, we are a service provider and solution hub for newsrooms, regulators and policy makers, and for all stakeholders that engage with the media industry. In doing so, we fill the gap between campaigns-driven advocacy NGOs, implementation-oriented media development organisations, and academia.
With a focus on practical, actionable results, our style of work is journalistic and the outcome non-judgemental and purely factual. We do not fight moral battles.
As a data-driven enterprise, our success depends on a backbone made of robust, scalable and interoperable processes and infrastructure. We thrive on excellence in this domain.

OUR VALUES
We recognize and capitalise on our past engagements, deriving expertise and a human-rights-based approach from it. In addition, the ethical foundation of our work is rigour and diligence. We live up to our promises and apply the do-no-harm principle.
As a diverse, hybrid and networked entity, we put trust in each other, including our stakeholders, clients and partners, at the forefront of our collaborative principles.
With a visible, innovative edge, we aspire thought leadership in the areas in which we operate.

OUR NETWORK
Our network, built on long-standing partnerships with leading actors in this space, is essential for our upward trajectory. Collaboration happens at eye-level and rests on trust, reliability and mutually shared mission and values.
We partner with a wide range of different entities around the world – including NGOs, international organisations and professional associations, research institutions, public and private sector actors – to exchange knowledge, to implement projects together and, more broadly, to contribute to our common cause.
The GMR is a member of the Global Forum for Media Development (GFMD), a consortium member of the Global Media and Internet Concentration Project (GMICP) and a member of the Media Freedom Cohort of the Summit for Democracy.
