Mapping Digital Media Reports

Published by the Open Society Media Program, the Mapping Digital Media project reports examine the progress of digitization and its impact on the values and principles that underpin the Open Society Foundations’ work in media and communications. Active in more than 60 countries worldwide, involving several hundred researchers and activists, Mapping Digital Media is an investigation of today's media landscapes. The project includes analysis, and research from around the world on how digitization is changing media output, media freedom, and citizens’ access to quality news and information. Mapping Digital Media works with advocates who seek to protect the public interest in media policy, maximize the opportunities created by digitization, and respond to its challenges.

According to OSF, the resulting publications examine changes in-depth, and is intended to build bridges between researchers and policymakers, activists, academics, and standard-setters across the world. The reports also intend to build policy capacity in countries where this is less developed, encouraging stakeholders to participate in and influence change. At the same time, this research creates a knowledge base, laying foundations for advocacy work, building capacity and enhancing debate.
