Space for Freedom: Exiled journalists' need assessment

The document highlights the results of a needs assessment of journalists and media professionals in exile. It shows that while many continue working remotely after being forced to leave their countries due to insecurity or repression, they face major challenges such as financial instability, legal uncertainty, psychological stress, and limited access to professional networks and infrastructure. It also stresses that exiled journalists are not a homogeneous group, and their needs vary depending on their context and role. The article calls for more tailored and coordinated support, including legal aid, training, psychosocial support, and improved working conditions, to help sustain independent journalism in exile and protect information ecosystems beyond national borders.
