About Academy

 

Orkhan Dzhemal, Alexander Rastorguev and Kirill Radchenko – three journalists brutally murdered in the summer of 2018 in the Central African Republic, epitomised the best traits of a high-quality journalism: an acute stance towards justice, investigative skills, audacity and courage in the face of grave danger. Annually, Russian speaking journalists, freelancers and online activists encounter excessive risks. Acknowledging these risks, they nevertheless continue their work in the name of one of the fundamental human rights – freedom of speech, so that we, their audience, have access to information and facts, and not just to the propaganda and fakes.

The Justice for Journalists Foundation, is a London-based charity. In accordance with its Mission Statement and Objects, the Justice for Journalists Foundation helps investigate violence and abuse against media workers who have been targeted as a result of their professional duties. The vast majority of attacks against journalists remain unpunished, and there are currently no international mechanisms for pursuing and obtaining justice. 

The Justice for Journalists Foundation, has launched Orkhan Dzhemal Media Safety Academy to equip Russian speaking media workers with skills and knowledge vital to stand up to their professional risks. The Academy offers free courses on the following topics:

  • Risk Analysis and Structured Analytical Techniques
  • Physical Security and First Aid
  • Information and Cyber Security
  • Psychological and Emotional Safety, Overcoming the Trauma
  • Media Risks and Legal Security

The Academy welcomes Russian speaking media professionals, online activists, bloggers, professional and citizen journalists.
