Exiled Journalists in Europe

Exiled Journalists in Europe is a journalistic investigation designed to provide a snapshot of the support available for journalists living in exile in Europe. It examines the help and opportunities on offer in eleven countries: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and the UK. Much of the research has been carried out by exiled journalists based in these countries.

It was published to coincide with a MediaWise RAM Project conference to launch the Exiled Journalists' Network, an independent body formed to provide advice, support and training for journalists who have fled persecution for collecting and disseminating facts and opinions in the public interest.

This report is dedicated to all those media professionals who have lost their lives in the course of their work. It was made possible with funding from the Open Society Institute.
