Internews

Purpose, Mission, Vision, Values Rapidly changing technology brings with it the dangerous rise of disinformation; new, more invasive forms of government surveillance and censorship; malign actors intervening in the global information space; digital and physical insecurity of journalists and storytellers; and the disintegration of the market for local news. Since our beginning, Internews has envisioned and worked toward building a world in which all people could seek, receive, and impart credible information. There is no simple solution to today’s challenges, but we do know that every human, in every country, will need access to —and the ability to discern —good, credible information to navigate the seismic shifts that are confronting our world. We have the depth and breadth of experience to tackle these challenges.

Internews, born in the midst of the Cold War and the formidable information challenges it wrought, has seen hope and progress thrive when people are able to share their own stories. From our early days of satellite Space Bridges connecting citizens of the Soviet Union with people in the United States in live conversations to the magic of the first locally produced radio broadcasts in communities across Afghanistan and South Sudan, to the mobilization on social media of millions of people around the world —we know the power of information to be a force for good.
