The Integrated Regional Information Networks commonly known as IRIN, acts as a news agency focusing on humanitarian stories in regions that are often forgotten, under-reported, misunderstood or ignored. The main purpose of this project is to create greater awareness and understanding of regional issues and events, and to contribute to better-informed and more effective humanitarian action, media coverage and advocacy. It is widely used by the humanitarian aid community, academics and others who simply want to know what’s happening in the world that doesn’t always make the headlines. Editorial independence ensures impartial coverage, analysis and sourcing in news-rich Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East, providing a fresh perspective on the tapestry of people and events in these regions of the globe. Every IRIN article carries a disclaimer that it may not reflect the views of the UN. Plusnews a service provided by IRIN, has a specialized focus on people living with HIV and AIDS. In recognizing HIV/AIDS as a significant factor in many humanitarian crises, the service has gradually expanded coverage to all of the IRIN countries. The service has become one of the largest providers of original HIV and AIDS reporting.
