Mumbai Welcomes the Launch of the Centre for Media and Policy Research (CMPR)

The Centre’s research agenda is structured into three primary wings, each focusing on a critical area within the media landscape:

• The Rural and Folk Media Wing: This division is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of rural and folk media tradition. By utilising new media technologies to create immersive experiences of folk traditions, CMPR aims to bridge the gap between tradition and innovation, ensuring that these important media forms continue to thrive in the digital age.
• The Audience Research Wing: With media consumption becoming increasingly complex, this wing focuses on understanding how individuals and communities engage with media. The wing conducts research (Research articles/papers/ case studies) on audience preferences, consumption patterns, and the impact of media on public opinion. These insights are invaluable to both academics and industry professionals, as they shed light on how media content is perceived and its broader societal effects.
• The Consultancy Wing: In addition to academic research, CMPR actively engages with the media industry through its consultancy services. The Centre provides strategic advice to media organizations, conducts impact studies and helps shape media strategies.

The Centre for Media and Policy Research is not only a collaborative space for academic institution but also a catalyst for media transformation.

In addition to the research activities at CMPR, the centre is also collaborating with national and international academic institutions and research centers to conduct joint research projects, exchange knowledge and build networks within the academic community. These collaborations have also contributed to the development of CMPR’s strong foundation and reputation as a leading center for media research.

The Centre for Media and Policy Research is not just an academic institution but also a platform for driving positive change in media. With its interdisciplinary approach and focus on key media issues like misinformation, ethics, and audience behavior, CMPR is set to become a valuable resource for media research in India. By fostering collaboration among academics, industry professionals, and policymakers, the Centre aims to influence media policy and practice in meaningful ways. As CMPR begins its work, its efforts to promote media diversity, literacy, and evidence-based policy recommendations will be important steps toward addressing the challenges facing the media landscape today.
