With rising authoritarianism and rampant disinformation, independent journalism stands as a bulwark against the erosion of democracy. Yet, as a recent OECD Development report highlights, global support for public interest media remains woefully inadequate. OECD's analysis reveals that in 2022, less than 0.2% of global foreign aid goes to supporting media, despite the vital role of free press in combating disinformation and upholding democracy. The International Fund for Public Interest Media offers a solution, providing a multilateral approach to funnel resources to newsrooms worldwide while maintaining their editorial integrity. Learn more from IFPIM's Nishant Lalwani, Maha Taki, and James Deane for Project Syndicate: 💡 "The world has changed drastically in the last ten years, and a shift in donor strategy is long overdue. Now is the time to save independent journalism. The longer we let disinformation thrive, the less likely it will be that democracy survives."

“Unless ODA for journalism is significantly increased, public-interest media in many countries will die out, with dire consequences for the societies served by these outlets.” CEO and Co-Founder Nishant Lalwani, Co-Founder James Deane, & Director of the What Works Unit Maha Taki on the risks to democracy and the urgent need to support independent media.
