Dear MDIF Friend,

New EU data protection laws will take effect on May 25, so we need to check that you’re still happy to stay informed about our efforts to support independent media in countries where access to free and independent news is under threat.

We’ve got lots more to share with you about the achievements and challenges of the media businesses we work with, news organisations that report the truth despite economic and political pressure. Cases like the recent shooting of a Vijesti journalist for shining a light on crime and corruption in Montenegro, and Malaysiakini, whose unwavering reporting provided Malaysians with the information they needed to oust the authoritarian government after 61 years in power.

We would also like to continue letting you know about what's happening in and around MDIF and share with you useful resources, such as the recently published practical guides on data journalism and paywall implementation, and a ground-breaking map of local media in Myanmar.

We promise that we will not share your data with anyone and will hold your data securely. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Follow the link below to let us know that you want to stay in touch. If you do not opt-in, we will no longer be able to send you any communications starting May 25th.
