In March 2017, UNESCO’s International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC) engaged The Polytechnic, a constituent college of the University of Malawi (UNIMA), through the Department of Journalism and Media Studies, to carry out a study on media development in Malawi using UNESCO’s Media Development Indicators (MDIs). The IPDC is a multilateral forum in the United Nations (UN) system designed to mobilize the international community to discuss and promote media development in developing countries. The study was commissioned upon the recognition that there has been no prior systematic assessment of Malawi’s media landscape and that there is no reliable empirically researched data on the general state of the media.
