About
Formed in partnership with the Committee to Protect Journalists and Media Defence in 2021, the Legal Network for Journalists at Risk (LNJAR) brings together key organisations working to support journalists and independent media with their legal needs. LJNAR strategically coordinates legal support to enable journalists and independent media outlets to cover public interest stories and hold power to account without fear of retribution.
Renewed efforts must be made to counter the evolving ecosystem of threats and challenges to media freedom and the safety of journalists…. [this] calls for a holistic response, going beyond physical threats to address legal and digital risks, as well as the enabling environment that sustains them.
