NEMO is a peer-to-peer support and advocacy network for the exiled media ecosystem.
We provide a safe space for representatives of exiled media organizations to come together and learn from each other, by sharing their successes and challenges. We are excited that you are here, willing to join the fight for freedom of the press.
A toolkit for the different stages of the exiled media journey.
In partnership with the International Journalists’ Network (IJNet), a project of the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), NEMO created a toolkit for exiled media organizations and media professionals who are in different stages of the exile journey.
We hope that the resources and case studies of the Exiled Media Toolkit will give you ideas to set up and run your organization entirely from abroad, or in a hybrid dynamic.
The Exiled Media Toolkit is available in English, Persian, and Spanish. Translations to other languages will be coming soon.
