Media & Human Rights

Media & Human Rights is a non-profit organization registered to receive federal grant awards from the U.S. government. The entity specializes in projects related to media monitoring, strategic communication, and combating disinformation. Based on its federal grant history, Media & Human Rights appears to focus on enhancing media literacy, supporting audiovisual monitoring efforts, and developing capacities to address media-related challenges in various regions, particularly in Eastern Europe.

The organization has received multiple prime federal grant awards from civilian agencies, primarily the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs and the Office of the Secretary of State. These grants have supported projects such as strengthening audiovisual council monitoring efforts to reduce disinformation, providing training for strategic communication and fighting disinformation, and developing capacities to tackle media concentration. Additionally, Media & Human Rights has been involved in a sub-grant project aimed at diversifying original Russian-language television entertainment programming in the Republic of Moldova. This sub-award, under the prime grantee International Research and Exchanges Board Inc., focused on producing innovative television content based on audience preferences and industry standards. The nature of these grant-funded activities suggests that Media & Human Rights plays a significant role in promoting media integrity, countering disinformation, and fostering diverse media landscapes in targeted regions.
