Mission and Objectives

Ma'an Network’s mission is to empower Palestinians by providing independent news and information, facilitating public discussions and interaction between Palestinian citizens and decision-makers, and bringing Palestinian voices to global audiences. As an independent Palestinian media organization, Ma'an seeks to lead the way in developing Palestinian media into a force for positive social change, accountability, and democracy in Palestine. Through enhanced cooperation between local, regional and international media, we aim to strengthen Palestinian media outlets and educate the international community about Palestine. Ma'an also works to create opportunities for public debate on critical issues, and to empower citizens to participate actively in these discussions via television and radio talk shows where they can question governmental and community leaders. Ma'an aims to help Palestinian media achieve global standards of excellence and greater international credibility while better meeting local people’s needs for reliable information and news.
