Improving citizens’ knowledge of democratic processes through modern media forms

Centre for Monitoring and Research (CeMI) is implementing a project entitled “ Improving citizens’ knowledge of democratic processes through modern media forms” in a cooperation with MINA – Montenegrin News Agency.

Project aims to improve the understanding and knowledge of citizens in Montenegro on current topics in the field of rule of law, electoral reform, corruption, human and minority rights, through modern communication channels (videos and podcasts).

The citizens are getting saturated with information they receive daily. We are facing the information overload phenomenon defined as the difficulty in understanding an issue and effectively making decisions associated with the excessive quantity of daily information. This project seeks to educate journalists and citizens on the above topics, to improve the informing quality in Montenegro as well as better citizens’ understanding of political and social topics and events.

The project is implemented with the support of the Embassy of the United States of America in Montenegro.
