Since 2002, JHR has worked around the world to train and engage local journalists, media outlets, civil society organizations and other relevant stakeholders to strengthen and improve human rights coverage in local contexts.

Our work helps create an enabling environment where objective media can flourish and the public can have their voices heard. 

JHR’s approach is based on genuine partnerships and effective, sustainable sharing of skills and expertise. JHR works with partners to leverage existing knowledge and momentum building coalitions of support for media freedom within local authorities and networks. This helps ensure long-term and sustainable impact.
