Use this passport on your website

1. Disclosure box

A live "who owns and funds us" box for your About or Imprint page. It shows what this passport shows, so it stays correct when the record changes. It covers the ownership disclosure that the European Media Freedom Act (Article 6) asks of news media in the EU.

Preview the box

2. Badge

For the footer or imprint. It always shows the current status and belongs only on the official websites listed above.

3. Site tag

One line in the <head> of your website links it to this passport. Tools can then confirm the site and the record belong together, and a claim from this website is confirmed faster.

4. QR code for print

For the printed edition, business cards, studio sets or event banners. It encodes only the short link, so it never needs reprinting.

MPMONITOR is a research project of the Media and Journalism Research Center (MJRC), an independent research organisation working since 2015. The register is kept by researchers; organisations do not pay to be in it and cannot pay to change it. About Source Passports

Passports are free to read, and claiming one is free. Payment can buy data access or research time, but never changes what a passport says.
