ICF Mission Statement

The International Communications Forum (ICF), founded in 1991, recognizes that the media is one of the world’s most powerful forces for good or ill. The media does not just report and reflect society but often shapes its direction. The ICF aims to:

strengthen public confidence in the media;
promote the bonds of trust within democratic societies;
inspire a commitment to service on the part of those who work in the media.

The ICF is committed to media ethics and the freedoms of expression and information. These need to be accompanied by a high sense of responsibility and respect for every audience. The ICF expects of media practitioners the same standards of integrity that they wish to see in all public servants. Through conferences and training programmes, ICF demonstrates its ethos on the basis of people-to-people and conscience-to-conscience dialogue.

SUPPORT THE ICF

We rely on the generosity of individuals to provide the financial support needed to maintain our UK based Administration unit. Our administration team provides its time free of charge, but has to meet basic costs: printing, postage, communications costs, office space, and travel needed to help develop our international Forums. Each Forum conference is self-funding through the work and support of a local invitation committee.

If you would like to give us financial support, please do so by making a donation.

Donors in the UK, the Eurozone and the rest of the world should make cheques in £UK or euros payable to ICF Limited and send to the ICF, 24 Greencoat Place, London SW1P 1RD, UK.

Donors in the USA should make checks in $US payable to ICF-America, Inc and send to Mr Robert Webb, 5850 Cameron Run, Apt 1511, Alexandria, VA 22303, USA. Donations by US tax payers are tax deductible.
