The Free Speech Centre
Advocacy
The Free Speech Centre advocates for journalists and represents their interests on various matters, including source protection, freedom of information, access to information, public disclosure, and the diversity of voices. We actively support the highest standards of journalism.
Journalist Support & Professional Development Initiatives:
The Free Speech Centre (FSC) is dedicated to supporting journalists and media professionals through a range of professional development and support initiatives.
These include capacity-building programs, targeted training, and mentorship opportunities designed to strengthen skills and resilience in challenging media environments. Key areas of focus include digital security, emergency support, legal advocacy, and strategies to address online harm and harassment—particularly for those facing gender-based or identity-based threats. FSC also hosts webinars led by mental health and trauma experts to support journalists dealing with stress, trauma, and burnout.
In addition to training and support, FSC organizes networking opportunities such as an annual national journalism conference and regional events, creating spaces for dialogue, collaboration, and solidarity among media professionals across sectors and regions.
