Impact

IREX has developed a proprietary indicator data methodology to assess the information landscape in any given country through subject matter expert panels and qualitative methods. With our solution, IREX and its stakeholders, including policymakers and media professionals, are able to easily understand trends on the flow of information, and diagnose the quality of content for each country it assesses.
