Media Defence was established 15 years ago. We have delivered crucial legal support to journalists under threat for their reporting since 2008. In that time, we have litigated over 1,300 cases in 116 countries.
Imagine a period of rapid technological change, accompanied by social, political and religious polarisation.

Sound familiar?
