The Media and Society Foundation
An international initiative of media professionals : universal media quality management standards.
Media is facing new significant challenges. Commercial and political pressures are threatening its credibility and weakening its influence on the society. Media transparency and accountability are needed to establish a trusting relationship between the media and its readers, listeners or viewers, but also its numerous other stakeholders, i.e. its own staff, the advertisers, the public at large, the civil society, public authorities, etc.
The time has come for the media to claim its commitment to its own professional and ethical standards and demonstrate that it is enforcing the values it is upholding.
The Media and Society Foundation – a Swiss-based initiative of prominent international media professionals – has gathered together the main principles that are universally shared by media organizations. It has developed from them two ISO 9000 media-specific quality management standards, ISAS BC 9001 for broadcasters and ISAS P 9001 for the press and Internet content producers. These standards are available to any all media organizations interested in quality policy, training and certification by independent, non-governmental auditors.
