Centre faculty and staff have worked with educational institutions, governments, media organizations, and media firms across the globe since its founding. Research projects, lectures and presentations, and cooperative endeavors have been carried out in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America. In 2008 the centre began expanding its organisation worldwide through the establishment of branch centres designed to serve regional needs.
The branch centres conduct research and training on media business issues, but with a particular focus on regional issues and challenges within the context of the differing cultural and linguistic environment."
