Social Norms
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Global Media Survey 2000 - Global

0 comments
This international survey of the journalists working in the fields of environment and sustainable development, undertaken by the International Federation of Environmental Journalists (IFEJ), was carried out through an internet questionnaire. It aimed to analyse needs of journalists to the end of proposing training or information search tools appropriate to specific conditions in different regions of the world.
Communication Strategies
The survey was available online in 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, and German) until January 2001 at page on the IFEJ site.

Those who participated received a global directory of journalists and media professionals.

The data collected was to be used in the publication of a directory of media professionals who specialise in the environment and sustainable development.
Development Issues
Environment.
Key Points
The needs of those working in the media regarding information about sustainable development are, to a great extent, not known, especially in light of the fact that these needs differ considerably from country to country.

Munich sociologist Dr. Frithjof Zerger evaluated the survey. A preliminary analysis was presented at the 8th International Environment Journalists Congress (November 13-19, 2001) in Cairo, Egypt. The complete detailed documentation of the study was planned for early 2001.
