The Center for South Asian Media and Culture (CSAMC) was founded in 2005 with a vision of fostering media collaboration and cultural exchange across South Asia. From its inception, CSAMC has been a driving force in promoting independent journalism, digital storytelling, and cross-border media engagement.
In its formative years, CSAMC focused on building networks among journalists and media professionals across South Asia. The organization launched its first Media Fellowship Program in 2007, aimed at training young journalists in ethical reporting and investigative journalism.
With the rise of digital media, CSAMC adapted by introducing digital storytelling workshops and cross-border collaboration initiatives. The South Asian Media Summit, first held in 2012, brought together journalists, filmmakers, and scholars to discuss the future of media in the region.
Today, CSAMC continues to shape the media landscape of South Asia through innovative programs, research projects, and public forums. With a commitment to ethical journalism and freedom of expression, it remains a vital platform for media professionals striving to make an impact.
