Who are we?
We are journalists in exile… The founding cohort of the Journalists in Exile platform are a group of Turkish journalists with a professional background in Zaman Media Group, who had to flee persecution of voices of dissent in Turkey.
What is the point?
We intend to grow the Journalists in Exile Platform to give voice to the voices of all journalists who feel exiled, even when they are stuck in their own countries, but are not free to express their real thoughts.
What do we want?
At the Journalists in Exile Platform, we want to document that “journocide” which involved literally death of journalists, but also erasing of 30 years of journalistic material from the internet, and burning of copies of our publications which were previously held at public libraries.
We are journalists in exile…
Journalists in Exile
We won’t forget, and we don’t want the world to forget… We want to shout out to the face of autocratic leaders that “Free Media Cannot be Silenced” even when they are taken over, shuttered and banned.
