The International Media Academy (IMA) is a Berlin-based non-profit organization working at the intersection of journalism, media development, and international cooperation.
We develop training, mentoring, and exchange formats with partners in regions where independent journalism faces political, structural, or social pressure.
Because independent journalism is essential for resilient societies.
How we work
Locally grounded
We develop projects with partners who understand the political, social, and media context on the ground.

Practice-oriented
Our formats focus on relevant skills, professional standards, and real-world work environments.

Internationally connected
Media development programs with partners across Eastern Europe, Africa, and beyond.

Let’s develop meaningful media projects together.
