Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility

The Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR) "was organized in 1989 as a private, non-stock, non-profit organization involving different sectors in the task of building up the press and news media as a pillar of democratic society. Its programs uphold press freedom, promote responsible journalism and encourage journalistic excellence.
