Belarus
State-controlled media in Belarus pose a serious challenge to independent media as they have the financial upperhand in employing new information technology to secure stronger media output. In this environment, IMS supports independent media and an agenda for press freedom through cooperation with the Belarusian Association of Journalists (BAJ), the Danish Union of Journalists and the international Federation of Journalists (IFJ).
