Dear John,

Join us [[link removed]] on day one of Trust Conference as we examine threats to global media freedom and discuss how journalists and media organisations can retain their ability to report unimpeded. Sessions include:

Weaponising the law: The new war on media freedom

This session will explore key findings from new research [[link removed]] exposing leading threats to journalism.

Fighting back: Protecting journalists against lawfare

An in-depth look at the actions journalists can take to confront legal threats and how the law can be used to strengthen, rather than to criminalise, independent media.

Forced to flee: Journalism in exile

Journalists will discuss their personal experiences of fleeing their countries and what support needs to be put in place to continue working in exile.

Cyber risks to journalists

How can newsrooms protect themselves against spyware, ransomware and other threats, and what successes have been won against these malign actors?

You can see the full conference agenda [[link removed]] and lineup of speakers [[link removed]] on our website.
