Development action with informed and engaged societies
As of March 15 2025, The Communication Initiative (The CI) platform is operating at a reduced level, with no new content being posted to the global website and registration/login functions disabled. (La Iniciativa de Comunicación, or CILA, will keep running.) While many interactive functions are no longer available, The CI platform remains open for public use, with all content accessible and searchable until the end of 2025. 

Please note that some links within our knowledge summaries may be broken due to changes in external websites. The denial of access to the USAID website has, for instance, left many links broken. We can only hope that these valuable resources will be made available again soon. In the meantime, our summaries may help you by gleaning key insights from those resources. 

A heartfelt thank you to our network for your support and the invaluable work you do.

SummaryText

This free iPad app for international news culls from more than 50,000 news sources around the world - placing mainstream news next to alternative media next to videos on the scene, with documentaries for more context and ability to take action on global issues by, for instance, volunteering or signing petitions. An interactive global map allows users to explore the world's video news. Users may also read related articles culled from more than 50,000 international news sources and/or learn more about global issues and trends through background information and brief Wiki-like entries. One may personalise world news and topics to follow. For major news events, LinkTV World News creates in-depth sections featuring a timeline of related video, round-ups of relevant updates from Twitter, up-to-the minute articles, and documentaries.

Launched in October 2012, the LinkTV World News app is managed by Link Media, in partnership with The Bertha Foundation.
