NMC Framework Initiative To Enable PSJ

The News Media Coalition (NMC) has launched a campaign to protect and empower vital everyday newsgathering. Central is the Framework for Primary Source Journalism (PSJ) – setting out nine conditions for on-the-ground newsgathering to flourish and to help combat disinformation. Among them are: Access to newsworthy events, the recognition of the effort and investment behind newsgathering and the lifting of barriers to evolving news reporting practices and methods of news distribution.

Our Mission

News content, news integrity, news rights and news viability – are central pillars of the NMC and Members. Our mission is to ensure reporters, photographers and video-journalists provide independent editorial witness accounts of high interest events.

Our Members

NMC Members are well-known major news publishers and news agencies that invest in the serious business of running news operations to provide the best content to editorial clients and consumers around the world.
