Presentation
The role of journalists, the media and civil society actors in exile is key for the dissemination of reliable information, both to their fellow citizens who have stayed behind and diasporas, but also to the rest of the world. Given the deterioration in the international situation, today, the risk of a significant increase in the number of journalists and media being forced to leave their home country is very high.
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, with the purpose of making France one of the main host countries for journalists in exile.
