Although media freedom is anchored in European countries' constitutions, media workers are encountering many threats and risks while doing their job. The Journalists-in-Residence (JiR) Programme of the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF) offers a special opportunity to threatened media freedom activists and journalists. For up to 12 months, a media worker at risk can take a time-out from the direct threat he or she is facing in the home country. The ECPMF provides a safe home, a scholarship and many other forms of support as well as the possibility to work at the centre in Leipzig. Until 8 November 2016, media workers from EU- and pre-accession countries can apply for the programme.
