For most people around the world, gaining access to concrete, impartial information is far from easy. Nevertheless, reliable information is a basic human need. People need it to judge their situation and to influence the course of their life. If you don't know what's going on around you, how can you make the right decisions?
Free Press Unlimited believes that objective information can be of life-and-death importance. Free Press Unlimited helps local journalists in war zones and conflict areas to provide their audience with trustworthy news and information. The information that people need to survive and give shape to their own future.
