Building a media ecosystem we can all trust.

We partner with newsrooms and journalists to strengthen ethical reporting, raise standards, and cultivate a media landscape that genuinely serves the public interest.

Every voice deserves to be heard.

From rural communities to city newsrooms, we work to make digital spaces more inclusive, safer, and accountable to the people who use them.

Truth in the age of misinformation.

Disinformation spreads fast. We move faster. Through monitoring, research, and practical tools, we help communities identify and counter false narratives before they take hold.

When the press is free, everyone wins.

We defend the conditions that make journalism possible — monitoring threats to media freedom across southern Africa and holding power to account so that the public stays informed.

A new name. The same mission.

We have grown from Media Monitoring Africa into Moxii Africa — a broader platform for media accountability, digital safety, and open information. Our commitment to a free and trusted public conversation has never been stronger.

Open and trusted information for all

We help people access information they can trust. We monitor media, tackle disinformation, and support ethical journalism with practical tools and training. We work with communities, newsrooms, and young people to make digital spaces safer. Our aim is a public conversation that is open, inclusive, and accountable.

Dexter

The tool we use to make media accountability possible

Dexter is our media monitoring engine. It tracks thousands of news stories each day to reveal who gets heard, who is ignored, and how issues are framed. We use it to power our research, strengthen media diversity, and hold power to account — turning complex data into insight and impact.
