In 2018, we have seen a growing animosity towards journalists in many countries. We have seen harassment of journalists and aggression against the media being openly encouraged by political leaders. We see that the space for a sound, deliberative democratic discussion is shrinking.

The best way to counter these anti-democratic trends is to strengthen free, independent and professional journalism. This is the core of Fojo’s mission, in Sweden and internationally. Jointly with our partners and individual journalists we engage in a wide range of activities to ensure that quality journalism is produced, ensuring that people in power are held to account.
