Media development

Coimisiún na Meán carries out a range of activities to support Ireland’s media sector and help develop content for Irish audiences that reflects and shapes Irish society. We support the development of high quality, accessible and inclusive content. Our focus is on the entire media landscape. This includes the content that is produced and consumed, the people who produce and consume it, and the channels where content is available. All these elements of the media landscape are varied and fast-changing.

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 learning and development programmes.

We work with broadcasters to continually advance gender equality, equity, diversity and inclusion in the Irish media sector. We will ensure sustainable development is embedded in our approach to governance, leadership and operations, making sustainable practices a fundamental focus of the organisation and part of everyday life.
