"The working group considered how international media development programs—particularly those that are U.S.-supported—have succeeded or failed, discussed best practices, and made recommendations. Journalist Ann McFeatters served as the rapporteur for the meeting. The discussion focused on several questions: What has succeeded in international media law development? What has not performed as planned and why? What is needed for success? What should be the role of the U.S. government and private donors? What new strategies should be tried? This report highlights working group’s main recommendations and points of discussion." (Executive summary, p.4)
