Voices in exile
Goals
Presentation
Journalists, media, and civil society in exile play a vital role in disseminating reliable information to their fellow citizens who have remained in their home countries, to the diaspora, and to the rest of the world. Given the deteriorating international situation, there is currently a very high risk that the number of journalists and media outlets forced to leave their countries will increase significantly.
In order to support and guide these journalists and media in exile, CFI, Reporters Without Borders (RSF), SINGA and Maison des Journalistes (MDJ) are launching the Voices in Exile project, supported by the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, in order to enable journalists in exile to continue their work as journalists in France.
