Analysis of media content: Social environment for the activist NGO sector – pressure, support, cooperation

Summary of the project implemented by Medijske inicijative

The basis of the project activity is the monitoring and analysis of the 10 most popular and influential B&H media on how they follow events that treat/cover the work of non-governmental organizations and the civil society sector, as well as political discussions, activities and reactions to the draft law that significantly limits the activities of the NGO sector in the Republic of Srpska.

Project goals

Strengthen the position of NGOs in the areas of unhindered and professional work, freedom of expression, effective access to the public through the media, as well as motivate the media to cooperate with the NGO sector.

Beneficiaries

The main beneficiaries of the project will be civil society organizations, which will gain knowledge of how the media reports on their activities and spheres of interest. This will help them in designing communication with the media and informing the target public. On the other hand, the media will receive an analysis of how they reported on the civil sector and the government’s moves to limit their (NGO) role.
