Media development

One of our key responsibilities at Coimisiún na Meán is to support Ireland’s media sector, helping it develop content that reflects and shapes Irish society. As such, we carry out a wide range of important activities. 

These activities include administering funding schemes to support the production and preservation of culturally valuable broadcast content, and to support the creation of high quality accessible public journalism. We support the development of the media sector and related activities through sponsorship and the implementation of sectoral learning and development programmes. Media literacy initiatives make sure that people can critically understand and interact with media and make informed choices about what they see, read and share online. We aim to promote high standards of environmental practices in the media sector and work with broadcasters to continually advance gender equality, equity, diversity and inclusion in the Irish media sector.
