Free Press Live: Media in crisis
Join us on 21 October in The Hague for Free Press Live 2024! This year the theme of Free Press Live is Media in crisis. Support for journalists in crisis is vital, as access to reliable information can save lives.
Whenever a crisis happens, the media play a vital role to maintain access to information, but at the same time they become a clearer target. Journalists in a crisis need all the support they can get. For their well-being, and for the well-being of the public. Because access to reliable information can save lives, especially in crisis situations.
During Free Press Live we will discuss the impact on, and role of, media during a crisis, and how best to respond and support it. We address the role of disinformation, how some conflicts are ‘forgotten’ and highlight stories of resilience and success of our partners in restoring and maintaining access to information during a crisis.
More information on the programme will be revealed soon.
