A free press is not a luxury.
“A free press is not a luxury. A free press is at the absolute core of equitable development, because if you cannot enquire and be transparent, if you cannot inform and be informed, then you will be left behind.”

How Alerts Work
1.Submission:
Users, including media stakeholders and members of the public, can submit alerts through an online form on our platform. This form collects essential information about the incident, such as the date, location, description, and any relevant details.
2.Verification
After submission, the alert undergoes an editorial process to verify the incident's authenticity and accuracy. Our team reviews the submitted information, fact-checks the details, and may reach out to additional sources or witnesses for verification.
3.Publication
Once the alert is verified, it is published on the platform's database of incidents concerning the safety of journalists in Africa. This database serves as a valuable resource for tracking and documenting media safety issues across the continent.
3.Awareness
Published alerts contribute to raising awareness around issues of media safety in Africa. Through our platform and affiliated networks, we share these alerts with relevant stakeholders, including media organizations, civil society groups, and international partners.
