The role of independent media, including community media is vital to ensure the realization of sustainable development and even more in the context of crises and emergency situations. Media also play key roles in addressing the spread of disinformation and hate speech as well as in advancing gender equality, both in and through media. The digital transformation has had a profound impact on the media ecosystem and viability including in Jakarta cluster countries which was also exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Media organizations in the cluster countries also simultaneously affected by the lack of funding, pressing competition from the internet giants and partly economic recession brought by the pandemic to the media environment.
