Addressing Global Challenges to Journalism and Press Freedom

The International Summer School (24 June – 28 June 2019) at the Sheffield Hallam University aim to equip a new generation of media professionals with awareness of occupational safety. The programme is relevant to all future journalists, and especially those who plan to work in the global media industry in the future.

MEKK member Marte Høiby held a workshop at the International Summer School together with, among others, UNESCO director Guy Berger and UNESCO chair Jackie Harrison.

Høibys workshop was about the threats and dangers that journalists often experience in covering certain topics, especially investigative journalism. She focused on tools to assess the threats associated with various journalistic missions and methods of mapping own forces.
