Untainted information is the life-blood of a healthy society, enabling: participation, informed debate, evidence-based decision-taking and progress. We operate at every stage of this process: the flow of raw information, analysing and processing it, and disseminating it effectively.

We train journalists, media professionals and their managers: presenters at Al Jazeera, cartoonists at An Nahar, set designers at NileTV, investigative journalists in Yemen, economic correspondents in Syria, heads of department at MENA. more>>

We are consultants to media organisations: analysing training needs, managing change, developing web-sites, updating systems, investigating opportunities.
And we work closely with the development community, advising on media strategy, lobbying and campaigning, stimulating debate, replicating good practice. more>>

We produce TV and video programmes, design and run web-sites, write articles, publish pamphlets, create audio features, circulate images and ideas.

We teach at universities; we run career development seminars; we explore key media issues; and we continue to research the links between good media, democracy and development. more>>

Jemstone has begun work on a project designed to motivate and enable communities to have more control over their own development. Volunteers have been recruited and trained to take the message of practical development action to communities throughout Jordan as well as providing those communities with an input to the country's decision-makers. With this initiative, Jordan is leading the way in engaging its population in the debate about the realisation of the Millennium Development Goals.
