Today, the Union, having more than 210 members from 35 countries and five continents, is the largest Media Union in terms of membership, geographical coverage, religious, political, and linguistic diversity, and membership of radios, televisions, and media institutions, and news agencies.
The primary purpose of the Union is to use media to defend the sanctities and interests of the Islamic Ummah and support the rights and fair demands of Islamic communities and countries and share productions and experiences among the members.
