Soe Myint

Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Mizzima Media (Myanmar)

"Our struggle in an increasingly changing media landscape today is not new. It is still necessary to keep fighting for professional journalism and be a part of nation-building democracies."

Joan Chirwa

Founder and Coordinator, Free Press Initiative (Zambia)

"Fighting for press freedom is the key reason The Mast is in existence and the platform that IPI is providing to advance the cause needs the support of all."

N. Ravi

Publisher, The Hindu (India)

"IPI is an amazing network of media persons from across continents who share the same commitment to press freedom and ethical journalism but with very different nuances."

Gwen Lister

Founding Editor and Chair, Namibia Media Trust (Namibia)

“IPI is a critical voice in the never-ending quest for press freedom and free speech worldwide and in striving to take quality journalism to greater heights.”

Rafael Marques de Morais

Founder and Director, Maka Angola (Angola)

"I cannot thank IPI enough for such a timely honor. It helped a great deal to punch through the political pressure and behind the scenes manoeuvring for justice to be served. It helped many to regain hope for the rule of law and celebrate an historic victory for press freedom in Angola."

Ute Brucker

Head of Foreign News Department, SWR (Germany)

“Although I have not been an IPI member for very long, I note that we all struggle with the same issues and problems. The exchanges with colleagues are very enriching – it’s a good feeling belonging to this community!"

Since 1950, IPI has endured as the global forum for journalists and editors to discuss among themselves the challenges and opportunities of press freedom and the journalism that sustains democracy.

As journalism and media have been shaken by change, we’ve been supporting news leaders grappling with disruption, working with our network in defence of human rights, and identifying ways of strengthening journalists’ voices.
