Grant Description: Strengthening Independent Media activity in Bosnia and Herzegovina will (1) promote national cohesion and inter-ethnic trust, (2) create a more supportive environment for the work of journalists throughout BiH, (3) provide reliable information to BiH citizens through both traditional and alternative sources of information, and (4) strengthen the ability of people to hold the government accountable. It is expected that activities implemented under this project would contribute to a safer environment for BiH journalists to work, strengthen alternative sources of information, increase the role of supporting institutions to enhance the work of professional journalists, raise principles of regulation and self-regulations to higher level, and increase citizens' awareness of the importance of independent journalists. The project is not intended to work with traditional media, and thus will not provide standard journalism training, business advice, or otherwise seek to reduce political influence on traditional media. Rather, the project focuses on alternative sources of information and citizens' knowledge.
