KATHMANDU, Jan 30: Media Action Nepal (MAN), a research based media rights advocacy organization based in Nepal, has been selected as a member of the Media Freedom Coalition–Consultative Network (MFC–CN).
According to a statement issued by the MAN, MFC-CN presents cases to the MFC for action- both cases of concern in countries where media freedom is at particular risk and cases of individual journalists or media outlets under threat. Also, it offers advice on present and future issues within media freedom and media development.
The MFC-CN, which comprises 22 member organizations, is loosely structured into four areas of interest: press freedom organizations, media development organizations, collective representation organizations, and the academia and organizations that are not covered by the other areas of interest.
"The global stakeholders should work together to create an enabling environment for independent and fearless media," the statement quotes Laxman Datt Pant, Chairperson of MAN, as saying. “MAN looks forward to providing support to the MFC through the Consultative Network presenting wider civil society and media rights perspectives to uphold free press.”
