Exhibition in the Hague: Setting the wheels of justice in motion
What does it take to bring you your news?
A Safer World for the Truth tells the story of the over 1550 journalists who have been murdered in reprisal for their work since 1992.
Their investigations were often crucial for the exposure of corruption and organized crime, but in nearly every case, their own murders remain uninvestigated and unpunished.
The exhibition was held from 19 September 2022 07:00 - 7 October 2022 16:00. More here.
Free Press Unlimited's mission is to ensure that independent news and information remains available to everyone. This helps people control their living conditions, develop themselves and monitor their governments. To achieve this, Free Press Unlimited collaborates with local media organisations and journalists, particularly in countries with limited (press)freedom. These media and journalists are close to their audience and therefore the best guarantee for a sustainable, professional and diverse media landscape. Free Press Unlimited's vision is short and to the point: People deserve to know. All over the world.
