Do you want to improve your organisation’s media coverage?
Channel 4's controversial reality show has been criticised for downplaying the lived experiences of refugees by turning their lives into an entertainment format. But as Gareth Benest, Advocacy Director for IBT argues, for all the show's faults, public service broadcasters like Channel 4 need to be realistic and engage wider audiences.
Last week, the International Broadcasting Trust (IBT) hosted a discussion between journalists and charity directors with the aim of increasing media coverage of Sudan. IBT Director, Mark Galloway, gives his assessment of the challenge.
Tufail Hussain, Director of Islamic Relief UK, has been at the forefront of calls for more media coverage of Sudan. Here, he reflects on his recent visit to the country.
IBT encourages NGOs to work with the media. But the two sectors are not always aligned. This report examines the media's stance on decolonisation. The report interrogates areas of divergence between the media and the charity sector before offering solutions forward.
As the media landscape continues to change rapidly and radically, we are calling for significant changes to how the PSM providers approach international content.
