Reporting Diversity Network

Reporting Diversity Network We focus on media representation of social diversity in the Western Balkans. Media Diversity Institute London, UK is the lead partner of the RDN 2.0 project.

Reporting Diversity Network (RDN) 2.0 aims to activate the role of civil society in countering narratives of the divide and replacing them with positive discourse contributing to the values of respect for human rights, respect for diversity and good neighbouring relations. In order to do so, the project will empower a regional network of CSOs to work together with the aim to influence the quality

of media reporting about issues of ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and age. The network is funded by the European Union, Balkan Trust for Democracy, a project of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Other partners in the project are: South East European Network for profesionalisation of media (SEENPM), Centre for Investigative Journalism Bosnia and Herzegovina, Center for Investigative Journalism Montenegro, Institut for Communication Studies, Albanian Media Institute and Media Diversity Institute Western Balkans.
