European joint effort to support Russian journalists in exile
In order to gather strength on a European level, Russian journalists in exile and representatives from a large number of international organizations are now meeting at Lindholmen Science Park. In Russia, the war against Ukraine has made it impossible for independent journalists and media to cover political and social issues without fear of reprisals. The goal is to identify the needs and challenges faced by Russian journalists in exile, as well as to find ways forward to collaborate with and support them in Europe.
The meeting is organized on April 24–25 by the Department of Journalism, Media and Communication (JMG) at the University of Gothenburg, with funding from the Swedish Institute, and in collaboration with the Council of Europe, the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ), the Swedish Journalists' Association (SJF) and Media institute Fojo.
Press meeting takes place on April 25 from 14:00 to14:30 and there is an opportunity to ask questions to Shahin Abbasov, program manager, Information Society Department, Council of Europe, Andrei Richter, professor, Comenius University in Bratislava, Tove Carlén, lawyer, SJF and Jenny Wiik, docent, JMG Gothenburg University. Interviews with Russian journalists in exile participating in the workshop can also be arranged.
