JHR - Journalists for Human Rights

Objet publié

This project aims to build capacity of independent Russian and Belarusian journalists to recognize and combat information manipulation and, to adopt a human rights-focussed reporting style, leading to increased and improved fact-based reporting circulating in Russian and Belarusian exile circles, and more relatable content for audiences to better understand the human rights impacts of the conflict and reduce their susceptibility to mis and disinformation. Project activities include: (1) providing trainings on personal safety and cybersecurity, human rights and gender-sensitive reporting, media business development, and countering information manipulation; (2) providing grants to support production of investigative media content on human rights and information manipulation; 3) facilitating networking and convening for independent journalists; (4) developing mental health and well-being supports for journalists and activists affected by transnational repression; and (5) supporting media innovation and business strategy initiatives through selection committees, calls for applications, and financial contributions.
