What is the Thomson Foundation?
The Foundation is one of the world’s premier media for development organisations. It was founded in 1962 and since then has worked across the media to build the capacity and develop communications skills for thousands of individuals – journalists, producers, radio and tv technicians; as well providing support to a range of media organisations from community radio stations to large broadcasters and news agencies. It has also worked with many of the UN agencies, NGOs and governments anxious to communicate messages about issues related to conflict resolution, health, the environment or sustainable development.
