|
The broad goal for the proposed Media Diversity Centre will be to encourage the promotion of a media and journalistic culture that celebrates our common identity as human beings, promotes human rights for all and is founded on tolerance and diversity. The primary programmatic objective is to promote fair, accurate, in-depth, and sympathetic media coverage of diversity-related issues as an essential step toward strengthening human and minority rights and promoting understanding between different social groups. On the whole, this goal is founded in the strong believe that such media coverage can play a central role in reducing irrational prejudices, avoiding the inflammation of conflict, and confronting extremist political agendas. Such media coverage can provide a critical bulwark against the escalation of ethnic, nationalist, and religious conflicts. |
