The Strengthening Independent Media in Ukraine (U-Media) program develops a media more capable of performing its oversight and public service role. Through technical assistance, capacity building grants, and training, U-Media improves media monitoring and investigative journalism, increases media literacy and utilization of new media technologies, provides legal support to journalists and media outlets, and facilitates media and civil-society partnerships.
