Forbidden Stories is a network of journalists whose mission is to continue and publish the work of other journalists facing threats, prison, or murder.
It is the only existing program with this mission. Our goal is to keep their stories alive and to make sure a maximum number of people have access to uncensored news on such crucial topics as the environment, health, human rights, or corruption.
By protecting and continuing the work of reporters who can no longer investigate, we can send a powerful signal to enemies of the press: even if you succeed in stopping a single messenger, you will not stop the message.
Forbidden Stories is a non-profit project. We rely on charitable foundations and on financial support from the public.
