Marea Media

About the network

Marea Media was born in Naples, motivated by the common desire to challenge the distorted narratives on Southern Italy and the Mediterranean. The collective works horizontally with the goal of accessibility and networking between and within their communities.

In an environment where media work is often exploitative, Marea Media recognises its value, creating professional opportunities for all and opposing any and all forms of discrimination.

Their mission lies on the following pillars:

Independence: They are a collective of independent professionals, without party affiliations, whose aim is to create a sustainable media project. The editorial content and ethics are not influenced or determined by funders or donors.

From below: In their creative and research processes, they include historical perspectives concerning the global South, Southern Italy and the Mediterranean while taking into account the colonial heritage of Italy and Europe.

New narratives and solutions: Marea Media narrates crucial contemporary issues from a constructive perspective, giving space to marginalised voices to offer inspiration and new perspectives from this region of the world.

Collaboration: For the network, media work is a horizontal space based on collaboration, mutual help, networking and sharing of opportunities and experiences.

Build together: Marea Media collaborate with communities to design projects focused on real needs and local issues.

Accessibility: They make their content and media work accessible and inclusive to all, regardless of socio-economic status. This includes language, practices and modes of collaboration.

Anti-discrimination: Marea Media does not accept any kind of discrimination based on race, colour, ethnicity, physical or mental disability, socio-economic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion or place of origin.

Methodology: Marea Media produces cross-media content, organises events and creates spaces for aggregation that are geared towards constructive debate and have an impact on the communities concerned.

Training and sharing: They create opportunities for all to learn and acquire new knowledge and skills relevant to their field of expertise.
