Iraq
Since the fall of the regime of Saddam Hussein in 2003, Iraq witnessed an incredible upsurge in new media outlets as restrictions on the media were dramatically reduced. At the same time, however, financial sustainability combined with polarization in society as well as the difficult security situation throughout the country pose serious challenges to the media causing many to close down. IMS activities include support to strengthen the development of independent media in Iraq.
