Along with press freedom, the safety and security of journalists and media workers is worldwide under pressure. Especially local journalists are exposed to violence and (online and offline) oppressive acts. At the same time, conflicts in countries like Syria, Iraq and Congo have caused the number of casualties amongst media practitioners to skyrocket. For many of these poignant casualties nobody has ever been convicted. The lack of security for media workers worldwide has caused many to end up in situations of distress during their career. For example; they need to flee their country, have lost their equipment or suffered the physical consequences of violence and oppression. During these periods of distress, media professionals are often unable to do their work and risk losing their job forever. It is important that media workers have access to effective support mechanisms; to contribute to a sustainable enabling environment in which they can continue expressing their pluralistic and diverse voices. FPU’s Reporters Respond programme aims to be such a support mechanism. Via Reporters Respond, FPU has extended emergency assistance to over 200 organisations and media workers over the past four years. To coordinate its activities internationally, FPU has co-founded information exchange networks like the Journalists in Distress network (JID), its East African sister network (EAJID) and the encrypted Syria Response Group (SRG).
