The Institute for Media Research and Human Rights aims to contribute to debates on the role of media in democratic societies and to promote an inclusive agenda in public discourse.
We aim to launch reports, build media partnerships, facilitate the publication of significant books and translations, and organize debates that help shape a better role for media in democratic societies.
Together with our partners, we aim to expand the field of critical media research in particular by focusing on how ownership, forms of administrative organization, financial status, the type of contracts media employees have lead to information content that is useful for the general public.
Our research also looks at the new types of monopoly established by digital giants and how these constitute a structural condition that hinders the support of an inclusive human rights agenda.
We aim to investigate through our research how the right to dignity, protection against hate speech, sexism, anti-Semitism, racism and other forms of oppression are or are not respected under the conditions of capitalist production of goods, services and information itself.
