S2 E1 Brave New Media: Fighting for Accountability Brave New Media
-
- News Commentary
Welcome to series two of Brave New Media, the global podcast featuring the brave and exciting work of journalists and editors from around the world telling their stories as part of our mission to create a healthier media ecosystem.
In this series we delve deep into the role of media in different contexts and how these roles impact their relationship with political powers.
And just like in our first series, in each episode, a specialist will analyse the issues uncovered by our Brave New Media outlets, and propose solutions.
We start this series by heading to Indonesia to hear Evi Mariani’s story.
Evi tells us about Project Multatuli, the media platform she co-founded to hold authorities to account in this vast country, where economic and political power is mostly concentrated in the capital, Jakarta.
Evi shares how Project Multatuli found itself in direct conflict with authorities after it published a story about police inaction over a sexual abuse case involving children.
Rebecca Vincent, the director of international campaigns for Reporters Without Borders (RSF), then delves into the issues of media safety discussed by Evi.
Brave New Media is a co-production between BBC Media Action and Holy Mountain. It’s presented by Maha Taki and produced by Saskia Black. To contact us, email: media.action@bbc.co.uk

Notes on Project Multatuli’s funding structure:
In December 2022, 45% of Project Multatuli’s funding was from grants and then 45% was from revenue from outsourcing their team’s journalism skills to other companies and outlets. The remaining 10% is from their membership programme.
