UNESCO's International Programme for the Development of Communication recently developed a framework for assessing the state of media around the world. This framework is comprised of a set of indicators that are meant to help diagnose the media's overall health, primarily at the national level. The document grounds this effort by citing the sector’s global mandate enshrined in Article XIX of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that every person has rights to freedom of opinion, expression, and information.
