About us
Who we are
One World Media is a registered charity committed to excellence in media coverage of the wider world. We believe the best media highlights our common humanity, breaks down prejudices and enables new voices to be heard. For 30 years, we have been working with partners in the UK and internationally to enable media that informs and connects the world’s people. Our mission is to support strong vibrant and independent media that empowers citizens, promotes justice and contributes to international development.
We inspire, encourage, and enable good quality media content about the wider world in a variety of ways:
- Our Production Fund supports the next generation of international correspondents and documentary filmmakers to produce stories that enlighten and inform.
- Our Workshops teach specialised skills for international reporting, either through established university media courses or directly to early-career media makers.
- Our Awards celebrate the best media coverage of the developing world.
- Our Events bring together the industry’s decision-makers to debate pressing editorial issues, as well as creating opportunities for new talent to meet gatekeepers.
- Our Global Short Docs Forum is a new initiative connecting filmmakers of documentary shorts with digital platforms.
