Presentation
The popular uprisings of 2011 in the Arab world have brought the issues of freedom of expression, press freedom and pluralism into the heart of public debate. A new generation of journalists has emerged from this turmoil, redefining the media landscape with the explosion of independent media and members of the public online.
Against this backdrop, from 2018 to 2021, Orient XXI and CFI launched the Independent Media in the Mediterranean project to train journalists and structure these new media. Building on the success of this project, Orient XXI decided to continue its efforts with CFI to consolidate this network. CFI will provide financial support to Orient XXI and will mobilise experts to deepen the knowledge of project beneficiaries on key journalistic issues.
