In this project CFOM will interview news editors/senior journalists of news organisations (see C Additional Information below) in six countries where press freedom is constrained and where editors could therefore be expected to have a greater interest in combating threats to journalists and ensuring safe reporting than in countries where the press is relatively free and journalists generally operate in a safe environment. These countries are Pakistan, Mexico, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Turkey, India and Bulgaria. The interviews will focus on editors/senior journalists’ news values and practices and their attitudes and opinions with regard to the kind of measures that are required to combat the threat to journalists, increase their safety, enable the systematic reporting of attacks on journalists and to report about the problem of impunity. CFOM will analyse these findings to identify barriers to the editors’ engagement with journalism safety and impunity and to outline the potential for the development of bespoke country-specific approaches with regard to the kind of assistance in terms of, journalism training, stimulating policy debate and initiatives and information campaigns that will be of direct benefit to aiding the development of the news media in each country, with the long-term aim of increasing media freedom.
