⚡️ A new #IFJ report 'Hacked Silence: Journalists and surveillance' has been launched today!
Surveillance puts journalists, their sources and the public’s right to know at risk. The study examines legal and regulatory gaps across 10 countries and international frameworks.

Responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI), decent working conditions and media freedom are essential for quality journalism in #Africa.
Over the weekend, @FAJafrica brought journalist leaders together in Addis Ababa to discuss how to tackle disinformation and misinformation, improve journalists’ working conditions and make sure AI supports journalists and their work across the continent.
Our sincere thanks to UNESCO for its support through the Multi-Donor Programme (MDP), as well as to the EU and ILO for their invaluable financial support.
#CzechRepublic 🇨🇿: Thousands protested in Prague against the government's plans to reduce funding for public media, raising concerns about political interference.

Responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) and decent working conditions for journalists go hand in hand.
On 24-25 October 2026, the Federation of African Journalists (@FAJafrica) brought journalist leaders from across Africa together in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to discuss the responsible use of AI, how to tackle disinformation and ways to advance decent work for journalists.
With the support of its cooperating partners, @UnescoEast, the International Labour Organization (@ILO) and the European Union (EU), and with the direct engagement of the African Union Commission (AUC), @FAJafrica concluded the dialogue with the adoption of an action plan to advance decent work, quality journalism and responsible AI across Africa.

A free and professional media depends on journalists being able to work safely and report without discrimination or intimidation.
@NUSOJofficial is currently building the capacity of journalists from Puntland and Galmudug through training in Galkayo on ethical reporting, gender equality and digital safety, in a bid to promote a fair and equitable working environment where female and male journalists can work in conducive conditions.
