Media Diversity Institute

The Media Diversity Institute (MDI) is a London-based non-governmental organisation[1] working with the media to improve reporting on ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality and other diversity issues.[2]

The mission of MDI is to promote "responsible journalism as a means to improve inter-community relations, increase tolerance and encourage dialogue among individuals and groups coming from different backgrounds."[3]

MDI has worked with organisations such as Internews,[4] the International Federation of Journalists,[4] Article 19,[5] and the European Federation of Journalists.[5] MDI is also a member of the Ethical Journalism Network.[6]
