News and press releases
A new report by Thomson Reuters Foundation and The Fix analyzes the needs and support provided to Belarusian and Russian independent media in exile across Czechia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. The report highlights assesses how the needs and challenges, as well as the support provided, have evolved for these exiled media over time.
With the increasing monopolization of information infrastructures on one side and targeted disinformation campaigns and propaganda by authoritarian regimes on the other, facts have become lonely things.

The JX Fund collects and curates knowledge and data on the needs, challenges, and achievements of exile media, conducts research, and builds networks by mediating between various international actors. To further strengthen our work, we are looking for a student assistant to join our team in the field of communication as soon as possible.
