Media Matters for Democracy (MMfD)

Media Matters for Democracy (MMfD) is an Islamabad-based non-profit organisation formed on the vision and the belief that a liberal, professional media industry is the cornerstone of a progressive, democratic society. The organisation strives for an inclusive, democratic media industry that is tech-friendly, progressive, diverse, professional and secure.

Media development in Pakistan is the main premise of MMfD. It undertakes policy research and advocacy for better media regulation in Pakistan, works for the acceptance and integration of digital media technologies, and works towards creating sustainable citizen journalism initiatives in the country. Its work is focused on three key areas: policy advocacy through evidence building and generation of public debate, data and digital journalism, and inclusion of citizen voices.
