About

UNESCO promotes media pluralism and diversity, which are critical to an independent and free media landscape with diverse opinions and ideas.

Information is a public good, and independent media nourishes democracy by keeping citizens informed, increasing their knowledge of public affairs, brokering dialogue, and assisting them in understanding one another. Citizens who are well-informed and knowledgeable can actively participate in democracy and make informed decisions.

In fostering media diversity, UNESCO focuses on equality in media content and operations for persons with disabilities, Indigenous peoples, youth and gender.
