Centre for Information and Communication

Mission Statement

Centre for Information and Communication, CIC is a nonprofit, public interest organization dedicated to global media issues. CIC is concerned with the political, cultural and social impacts of the media, large and small. CIC exists to provide information and diverse perspectives and inspire debate, collaboration, action and citizen engagement. More than ever before, we are living in a media age and a media world. In the current climate, we all need to be aware of how the media operate. Making sense of the steady stream of info-culture requires background, context and interpretation. The vitality of our political and cultural discourse relies on a free and diverse media that offers access to everybody. Journalists and media professionals, organizations and activists, scholars and citizens all need improved access to information, resources and opportunities to reach out and build connections. CIC has been created to meet this need at the dawn of the new millennium.
