Bringing communities together is central to the ethos of public media and its mandate to be accessible to all in society. This includes helping refugees and asylum seekers feel welcome as our new neighbours and supporting them to integrate.
On 17 March the Public Media Alliance held a special event as part of the University of East Anglia's Refugee Week, exploring how public broadcasters are covering the lives of refugees and asylum seekers as they make new homes in the UK. This virtual session shared inspiration and clips from public media organisations around the world and explored what more could be done to improve coverage and report on those relocating due to hardship.
The Public Media Alliance (PMA) is the largest global association of public broadcasters and is based at the University of East Anglia, building on its long partnership with the School of International Development.
