Progress Report

Globe International has started the project “Monitoring Press Freedom and Supporting Independent Media in Mongolia” since October 2008. The present reported period is October 1, 2008 and March 31, 2009.

Main goal of the project is to promote greater democratisation and openness in Mongolia by campaigning for the public’s right to have access to free and uncensored news and government information.
Project objectives are to protect the rights and independence of journalists by monitoring threats and attacks on journalists and media organisations; and to promote the media self-regulation system

During the reported period, we have established the professional team to support the project activities, organised four team meetings. We carried out the study on the civil defamatory cases against media and journalists.  Globe International has registered in total, around 50 cases of the free expression violations until now.
