OC Media

Who we are

Этот пост доступен на языках: Русский

Open Caucasus Media brings you news, com­men­tary, mul­ti­me­dia, and inves­ti­ga­tions from the North and South Caucasus, with in-depth analysis of the issues, movements, conflicts, and people shaping the region. We pride ourselves on our com­mit­ment to ethical jour­nal­ism and our core values; in our reporting, we strive to be unbiased, accurate, honest, and to follow the truth wherever it leads.

Our values

Integrity

We are polit­i­cal­ly inde­pen­dent; our funding (from donors and our readers) is con­di­tion­al on main­tain­ing our editorial inde­pen­dence and a com­mit­ment to our values. 

Justice

We are committed to social and economic justice for all.

Peace

In a region touched by inter­com­mu­nal and inter­state conflict, we stand by our com­mit­ment to peace.

Inclusivity

We stand for equality for all and give voice to all the diverse people of the Caucasus.

Cooperation

With our network of partners in the media and other sectors, we believe in coop­er­a­tion over com­pe­ti­tion.

We need your help

We at OC Media pride ourselves on our editorial inde­pen­dence and our com­mit­ment to our values. Sus­tain­ing our existence is not an easy task — as with most online media in the region, we rely on inter­na­tion­al donors to help make ends meet. We will never sacrifice our inde­pen­dence to political or business interests, which means one day we might not be able to afford to be there for you anymore.

Your support is crucial for us to keep deliv­er­ing unbiased infor­ma­tion, speaking up against injustice, and giving a voice to all the diverse people of the Caucasus, following the truth wherever it leads us.

Our donors

OC Media currently receives most of the revenue we need to survive from inter­na­tion­al donors. While we would never allow any donor to dictate our editorial policy, we remain vul­ner­a­ble to their funding schedules and changing pri­or­i­ties.

We have received funding from the United Kingdom Foreign and Com­mon­wealth Office, the European Endowment for Democracy, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Foun­da­tion, and the Open Society Foun­da­tion.

We have taken part in joint projects with Inter­na­tion­al Alert within the EPNK ini­tia­tive and the Centre for Training and Con­sul­tan­cy.

We have also run joint com­mis­sions with our partners at Civil.ge and Open Democracy Russia.
