What is the Media Policy and Democracy Project?

The Media Policy and Democracy Project is a joint collaborative research project between the Department of Communication Science at the University of South Africa (UNISA), and Department of Journalism, Film and Television at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) which was launched in 2012, and aims to promote participatory media and communications policymaking in the public interest in South Africa.

The MPDP is comprised of three specific focus areas, namely:

1. Internet freedom, privacy online, and communications surveillance
2. Media diversity and transformation
3. Communications policy and the public interest


The Media Policy and Democracy Project is funded by the Open Society Foundation for South Africa (OSF-SA) and the College of Human Sciences at the University of South Africa (UNISA).
