DANGER ZONE

REPORTING TRAINING

The safety of journalists and technical crews in danger zones is a major

concern for all media outlets, especially with the changing geopolitical

context: journalists are nowadays often seen as targets.

As an expert in international news coverage, France Médias Monde offers

customised training from experts in danger zones that is adapted to the

needs of its journalists and technical crews, through its Academy.

The French media development agency CFI works as a

subsidiary of France Médias Monde mainly in Africa, the

Arab world and Southeast Asia. The media’s increasing

ability to f ight misinformation and address environmental

protection, human rights and gender equality is central

to its operations. In 2021, 38 projects were carried out, of which 14 in

collaboration with RFI, France 24 or Monte Carlo Doualiya.

For instance, the agency launched “journalists’ insights”, an online

project to help train young journalists, students or bloggers and

strengthen their knowledge and skills in various f ields of journalism.

More than 200 videos made by France Médias Monde journalists can

be viewed free of charge in French, English and Arabic.
