The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Author

  • Indrajit Banerjee and Kalinga Seneviratne
This book takes a scholarly perspective aimed at creating debate about the role and function of public service broadcasting (PSB) at a time that it is facing a variety of threats, not only from governments, but increasingly from commercialisation of broadcasting. Case studies and experiences from twelve countries are included.

The book was inspired by a project conducted by the Asian Media Information and Communication Centre (AMIC) for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2004–5 for which good practice submissions from PSB experts and research scholars from around the world were collected.
