Research
One World Media has partnered with other organisations to carry out research on the role of broadcasting in increasing global understanding, and how broadcasters cover issues that relate to the developing world. The most recent report is The World in Focus, produced with IBT (International Broadcasting Trust). It looks at the international content of UK news programmes, and how audiences connect with the wider world. You can go to the IBT website to download the report, as well as previous reports on how UK media cover the developing world.
