Status: Reference Institution

About the Institution

UNESCO's work covers education, culture, communication and information, including freedom of expression, access to information, media development and cultural expression.

Why It Is Relevant to International Publishing

Publishing is both cultural expression and a channel of access to information. UNESCO's frameworks on freedom of expression, media development and the diversity of cultural expressions — including the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions — inform how viewpoint-neutral media and reputation review is framed.
