Around the world journalists and media outlets are under increasing pressure when their professional independence and press freedom come under attack
In countries affected by armed conflict or political transition the result is often that the media are prevented from doing their job. But access to trustworthy information can be a matter of life and death. People need reliable information to hold authorities to account and to make informed decisions that influence their lives and societies for the better.
That is why we aim to create safer media environments with sound laws for journalists in countries where press freedom and other human rights are in dire straits. Our work is based on long-term engagements tailoured to the local country contexts in which we seek to make a difference and always in partnership with local and international media actors.
