CRISIS, SAFETY AND RESPONSIBILITY
Spotlight on Afghanistan, Haiti and Myanmar
​
2021 has shone an intense spotlight on the safety of journalists living and working in Afghanistan, Haiti and Myanmar, with large numbers forced into exile and hiding because of their reporting. What is the reality for journalists who continue to report from their home country? What more can be done to support their safety? And how can editors continue to get stories out while ensuring the safety of local journalists and contributors.
Journalists and editors share their experiences.
