Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan is a country in transition, coping with the break up of the Soviet Union in the 1990s and more recently the fall of a president who exercised tight controls over the media. Amid difficult economic conditions and a tense political environment, Kyrgyz journalists have made significant progress in opening up the media sector towards a more public oriented service. IMS supports their work by pushing for media law and policy reform, providing trainings to strengthen the knowldege and skills of the journalists, and to build their capacity to produce and disseminate professional content.
