Media Development Loan Fund is a mission-driven investment fund for independent news outlets in countries with a history of media oppression. We provide low-cost capital, solutions, and know-how to help journalists in challenging environments build sustainable businesses around professional, responsible, quality journalism. Working in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Balkans, and the CIS, we help essential independent news providers to expand their audience, improve their news products and become financially self-sustainable. Based in New York City, with offices in Prague, Warsaw and Moscow, MDLF provides leading journalists with the support they need to create lasting institutions for change.
