Media Empowerment for Democratic Integrity and Accountability

Media Empowerment for Democratic Integrity and Accountability (MEDIA) activity “strengthens public-interest media and civil society organizations (CSOs) seeking to ensure government accountability, hold business interests to account, and counter misinformation and disinformation.”

“Independent media outlets in Indonesia face economic and political threats that the pandemic has only exacerbated. Further, the spread of mis/disinformation inhibits the public from accessing the information they need to realize their rights and hold the government and big businesses to account.”

Commentary:
A very large USAID grant with a major mis- and disinformation focus. Internews is among USAID's core partners for counter-MDM and a host of media development programs.
