The May Chidiac Foundation Media Institute (MCF MI) is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization mainly dedicated to research and education on issues of Media, Press, Democracy, and Social Welfare. We at the MCF believe that by supporting the development of knowledge production industries we can greatly contribute to make Lebanon a pro-active player in the global economy thus providing our country with the needed immunity to face wild globalization, in addition to enhancing freedom of speech and democracy.
