Press Now aims to promote the development of open and democratic societies, by supporting independent media in regions of conflict and countries in transition.
Press Now considers the development of a diverse and democratic media as a prerequisitefor the development of democracy and civil society. Freedom of expression is one of the first of conflict and oppression. Conflicts are fuelled by the manipulation of information. A strong and open civil society can only develop when supported by a pluralistic, independent media that voices different opinions, reflects multiple views, stimulates public debate, acts as a watchdog on society, and holds authorities to account. In order to reach this objective, Press Now promotes the development of a varied and sustainable media landscape in regions of conflict and transitional countries.
Press Now's mission therefore is to enable independent media outlets to function as well-managed businesses, whose editorial independence is secured, so that citizens are provided with reliable and objective information from multiple news sources. In order to reach this objective, Press Now supports independent media outlets and institutions that play an important role in the media landscape and political developments of their country or region. Press Now aims to increase their independence, quality, effectiveness, professionalism and self-sustainability.
