Summarization
NiemanReports featured exiled journalists worldwide and their key role in holding power accountable and upholding press freedom. As press freedoms erode, journalists are building networks outside their home countries to continue reporting, but they face challenges such as limited resources, restricted access to information, physical harm, and lack of independent newsrooms unfettered by censorship, harassment, and death threats. Despite these challenges, exiled journalists like Roman Anin of Russia, Samiullah Mahdi of AmuTelevision, Anisa Shaheed of Afghanistan, and Gloria Chan of Green Bean Media are continuing to report on their home countries under risky conditions. Supporting exiled journalists means safeguarding the public's right to information.
