2014 was a busy and productive year for us. Our annual review details our work across a range of activities – publishing two major reportsHIV and stigma – the media challenge and The aid industry – what journalists really think; organising briefings and training events for our members; lobbying Government, Parliament and media regulators; and working with broadcasters and producers on our Reframing climate change project. Get the Review.
We’re delighted that our membership is growing and we welcome any inquiries from organizations interested in joining. IBT members have exclusive access to the members’ area on this site, so they can register for events including briefings with executives from television, radio and online, training sessions, master classes and debates. We welcome your feedback on our events, research and website.

The Aid Industry - what journalists really think
As the aid industry comes under increased media scrutiny, this briefing paper (for IBT members only) hears from a range of journalists working in press, radio, TV and online, and explores their personal opinions about NGOs and aid.
Some of this report gives cause for concern but our aim in publishing it is to enable NGOs to respond more effectively to media criticism in the future. The report is essential reading for all media officers and others involved in communicating to the media. We shall be organising a series of events to promote discussion of the report’s findings.
