A trained journalist risks getting into conflict with his government. What is the use supporting this?
Change doesn’t come about without resistance and conflicts. The goal is to provide media professionals with all necessary prerequisites to make balanced decisions in their work. If a journalist gets into conflict, trained lawyers should provide him with judicial assistance. For example, all Jordanian media organizations refused to support Jihad Momani, editor-in- chief of weekly Shihan, as he got fired for re-publishing the cartoons of the prophet Muhammad. CDFJ provided Momani with legal aid. Our partners and media professionals confirm the urgent need to improve the legal networks protecting journalists.
