Intro: The Fight for a Meaningful Media Future
The digital age promised limitless access to information, but in the rush for reach, depth was lost. The Media Values Foundation is responding with a bold vision: to rebuild the cultural soul of British and European media.
A Mission Rooted in Civic Responsibility
MVF was founded in 2023 with one goal: to realign media with the core principles of democratic society—truth, accountability, diversity, and cultural continuity. At a time when algorithmic bias and consolidation threaten pluralism, MVF stands as a counterforce.
Three Pillars of Change
- Cultural Media Infrastructure: Funding and supporting local, heritage-based, and mission-driven newsrooms.
- Policy Reform and Legal Support: Creating legal frameworks that protect journalists and support independent outlets.
- Public Literacy and Trust: Educating the public about media manipulation and rebuilding media as a civic institution.
Flagship Programs
- Media Independence Observatory: Tracking financial, political, and structural threats to press freedom.
- Heritage Media Grants: Helping revive local newspapers and digital start-ups that center cultural identity.
- Open Tech for Public Media: Advocating for ethical digital tools free from monopolistic control.
A Europe-Wide Vision
Though rooted in the UK, MVF’s work reaches across Europe. We collaborate with partners in Germany, France, and the Balkans to ensure that European media remains free, diverse, and accountable.
