Luminate is a spin-off of the Omidyar Network, concentrating on financing a plethora of global media and civil society organizations, in a way that in reminiscent on how the CIA did it during the Cold War with its Mighty Wurlitzer,to promote the preferred narrative.
Overview
Luminate states that "the last few years have seen a profound shift in the political environment (...) Trust in experts, institutions, and the media has been eroded. The spread of misinformation and the devaluation of truth have created echo chambers that are entrenching views and polarising communities. Populist politicians are exploiting this, leading to a rise in authoritarian governments and the greater prevalence of insular, nationalist perspectives."
Luminate’s global work has supported 280 organisations, in 17 countries with over $360 million in funding. One of the focus areas is financing journalists and fact checkers.
