We have been working in particularly difficult contexts for more than 30 years, whether in war or post-conflict situations, humanitarian crises or countries in democratic transition. This is the core of our mission and the primary focus of our projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such situations, access to fact-based, fact-checked, impartial news is sometimes of vital importance to people who need to know exactly what is happening around them. Their lives, or the lives of their loved ones, may be in danger. They need information about what they can do to solve the problems they face, or participate in the development of their town, region or country. Through responsible and rigorous journalism, we enable the production and broadcast of this information: sometimes a matter of life and death, and at all times vital for building more peaceful societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u2018Journalism is a pillar of democracy and peace\u2019\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aM7QU0UO3F8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving individuals the chance to speak with other segments of society; to listen to the viewpoint, problems and needs of the other party; or to address policy-makers, civil-society organisations and economic actors, also enables them to feel heard and respected, rebuilding confidence in the possibility of consensual and peaceful solutions to the causes of crisis. Our discussion programmes and events are often broadcast live and locally to the people concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to reach a wide audience, we work with a range of media formats for live and recorded broadcasts, creating a flexible approach that reflects people&#8217;s news consumption habits: radio, social media and websites, TV, and mobile phones (WhatsApp, toll-free numbers, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>REFERENCE DOCUMENTS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Editorial-Charter-Fondation-Hirondelle.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"
