Centre for Freedom of the Media

What we do

Journalists cover their mouths outside the BBC’s Broadcasting House at a BBC and CFOM hosted a conference.

Advocacy and impact

CFOM applies its research findings and practical knowledge of the conditions required for free and independent journalism to promote safe and enabling environments for journalists to perform their work of informing the public.
