Media Reform Coalition

The Media Reform Coalition was set up in September 2011 to coordinate the most effective contribution by civil society groups, academics and media campaigners to debates over media regulation, ownership and democracy in the context of the phone hacking crisis and proposed communications legislation.

We work with partner groups and supporting individuals to produce research and to organise campaigning activities aimed at creating a media system that operates in the public interest.

Media Reform represents an independent coalition of groups and individuals committed to maximising the public interest in communications. The current chair is Professor Des Freedman of Goldsmiths, University of London.

The Media Reform Coalition is committed to:

Supporting media pluralism
Defending ethical journalism
Protecting investigative and local journalism.
