Themes


 

Global Media Policy (GMP) encompasses the institutions, processes and interactions between various actors in policy-oriented processes that concern the domain of media and communication.

Mapping GMP allows to identify actors, processes, outcomes and resources; foster access to relevant information; build and share new and existing knowledge; stimulate worldwide collaboration and enhance actors' capacities to intervene in policy settings.

This website includes an evolving database on GMP, conceived as a resource for the development of visual maps and scientific analysis.
