The Bhutan Media Foundation is a public-benefit Civil Society Organisation (CSO)[1] established under Royal Charter and with seed funding from His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, in Thimphu on 21 February 2010.[2] The charter was collectively written by media professionals.[3] An editorial in Bhutan Today, described the CSO as "a beacon of hope" in developing a professional media industry.[4]
The first executive director Lily Wangchuk, a former diplomat and author, described the CSO's broad aims: “For the first time in the country, we will be conducting trainings not only for reporters and editors but also for designers, marketing officers, photographers, circulation officers, administrative officers”.[5] Wangchuck left the organisation in 2012, to pursue a role with Druk Chirwang Tshogpa, becoming the first woman in Bhutan to be appointed president of a political party.[3] BMF is currently headed by Needrup Zangpo, former editor-in-chief of Bhutan Observer.[6]
