  Media Map Shows Impact of Information

Dear Christian,

How do we know that media make a difference? We've looked at the numbers.

The Media Map Project 
<http://e2ma.net/go/7381497769/208771197/230134518/1406122/goto:http://www.mediamapresource.org>, 
a multi-faceted research collaboration between Internews and The World 
Bank Institute, has made 25 data sets which collectively touch on every 
country in the world and up to 30 years' worth of information available 
to the public for download and analysis. Visualizations on the site 
allow viewers to interact with and test the data in different ways.

For example:

  *

    Map the Numbers
    <http://e2ma.net/go/7381497769/208771197/230134519/1406122/goto:http://www.mediamapresource.org/map-the-numbers/>
    shows how country-by-country scores change over time for indices
    like the Voice and Accountability score from the World Governance
    Indicators, number of Internet Users per 100 people, and Donor
    Spending on Communications. Countries' scores are compared to
    regions of the world, to provide context.

  *

    Chart the Numbers
    <http://e2ma.net/go/7381497769/208771197/230134520/1406122/goto:http://www.mediamapresource.org/chart-the-numbers/>
    allows users to see trends within data, such as correlations between
    a country's engagement with ICTs and its economic prosperity.
    Charting GDP along with the CIRI measure of Freedom of Speech and
    Press, for example, shows a positive correlation between the two.

  * Graph the Numbers
    <http://e2ma.net/go/7381497769/208771197/230134521/1406122/goto:http://www.mediamapresource.org/graph-the-numbers/>
    presents unique data sets that show measurements unavailable
    elsewhere. The Cash for News Coverage and Bribe Payers Indices, two
    of the sets displayed, are one-time studies that present a rich
    resource for researchers interested in understanding influence in
    the media.

Additionally, all the data featured on the site is available for free 
download

"We're thrilled to be able to offer this data to the public," said Tara 
Susman-Peña, Director of Research for the Media Map Project at 
Internews. "By seeking out and streamlining the data available, putting 
it all in one place, and making it easy for anyone to draw comparisons 
with the visualization tools, we hope to encourage and support greater 
investigation into the role of information and media in governance and 
in development around the world."

With funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Media Map 
Project aims to better understand the interrelations between media 
development and outcomes in governance and economic development. The 
Media Map Project is part of the Internews Center for Innovation and 
Learning

Using the data made available on the site, Sanjukta Roy, Data Analyst, 
has produced a study 
<http://e2ma.net/go/7381497769/208771197/230134526/1406122/goto:http://www.internews.org/pubs/MediaMap/Media_Development_Politica_Stability_%20Sub-SaharanAfrica.pdf> 
that demonstrates that a healthy media sector has a positive impact on 
the political stability in the sub-Saharan Africa region. In addition, 
the project will make more than fifteen pieces of original research

support to the media on seven countries, from Cambodia to Ukraine. A
