Soros Foundations

MENA works closely with the Open Society Institute Assistance Foundation–Turkey, a liaison office that identifies actors and activities that will help Turkey's evolution toward an open society, facilitates collaboration between Turkish civil society and the Soros foundations network, and makes funding recommendations.

Guidelines

Media independence is often cited as one of the most crippling deficits in the Arab world, where the broadcast industry is mostly state-run, and private press is often indirectly controlled by the government.

MENA collaborates with OSI’s Media Program to promote independent, quality journalism and to help establish an environment favorable to the survival and development of free, responsible media. Working towards this goal, MENA and the Media Program concentrate on projects addressing democratic media legislation, assist in establishing strong independent professional organizations, and work to raise the professionalism of journalists and media managers.
