We are in uncharted waters. Intimidation threatens media practitioners worldwide, and disinformation campaigns destabilize public trust. The Center for Media at Risk convenes scholars and practitioners to strategize in response to the multiple risks threatening media freedom. We believe that knowledge is power: Knowing how media practitioners work under the uneven power dynamics posed by authoritarian, racist, misogynist, homophobic, classist and settler-colonialist regimes helps us to defend media freedom everywhere.
