In an era defined by rapid information flows, rising misinformation, and shifting media landscapes, the need for accurate, ethical, and evidence-based journalism is more urgent than ever. This institution was founded with a clear purpose: to strengthen democratic values by promoting critical thinking, media literacy, and the responsible use of information across diverse communities.
