Development action with informed and engaged societies
The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

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.
