International Media Support (IMS) is an international NGO located in Copenhagen, Denmark, working to support local media in countries affected by armed conflict, human insecurity and political transition.
It works in 41 countries to improve professional journalism and help media personnel to operate under difficult circumstances.
IMS was set up in response, with an aim to helping local media working in conflict-affected areas to remain operative and professional.
The group aims to undertake its work through cooperation and collaboration, seeking to encourage maximum coordination with existing local and international initiatives.
In 2021 The Guardian interviewed an Afghan female journalist who had been targeted by the Taliban in her home province and was now living in a safe house established by IMS in Kabul.
