Mission Statement
<div>The International Information Policy Foundation, a 501(c)(3)
non-profit public charity under US tax law, includes the <strong><em>International Journal for Media and Information
Policy</em></strong>, launching in 2012, and conducts research on the role of information and its stakeholders in international relations and humanitarian affairs.</div><div> </div><div><div>
<p><strong>International Journal for Media and Information Policy (MIPJ)</strong></p><div>http://www.iipfoundation.org </div>
<p><strong><em>Information bestows power; at risk communities need information
as much as water, food and medicine, or shelter.</em><br /> <br /> -- Markku
Niskala, Secretary General of the International Federation of Red Cross
and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)<br /></strong><br /> Within the last twenty
years, with the dawn of what is becoming known as an ever and
exponentially exploding Information Age, a new, formalized area of
policy discourse has begun to take root in International Relations:
Media and Information Policy (MIP).*<br /> <br /> Peer reviewed, <em>The
Journal of Media and Information Policy (MIPJ)</em> seeks to better
examine the role of information and its implications in International
Relations -- how it is gathered, analyzed, and disseminated; via what
medium; to what population; and for what purpose -- and the role such
information and means of dissemination play as critical stakeholders
unto themselves in both the microcosm and macrocosm of humanitarian and
international affairs.</p>
<p>*<em>Note on the definition of “Media”: “Media” in this case is not to
be confused with “Mass Media,” but instead denotes the medium through
which information itself is disseminated, and through what particular
low- and/or high- technology apparatus.</em></p></div></div>
