Exile Media Forum 2024

The Exile Media Forum (EMF), Germany's leading conference for journalists in exile, will take place on the October 15, 2024. The EMF offers a unique platform to connect with international peers and meet representatives from civil society and politics.

The keynote address will be delivered by Aye Chan Naing, co-founder and editor-in-chief of the exiled Democratic Voice of Burma, one of Myanmar’s leading independent media organizations. This year's EMF will focus on methodological approaches and solutions. We will discuss innovative funding and distribution models for exile media outlets. We will also address questions, such as: How can journalists best navigate the legal conditions of life in exile?  What collaborations between exile and German media have been most successful and why? What opportunities can AI technology and community-based platforms offer for journalists living in exile?

This year's EMF guest partners include the JX Fund and the Thomson Reuters Foundation, with additional participation from the DW Akademie, Neue Deutsche Medienmacher*innen, Radio Sakharov/CORRECTIV and more.

The conference will be held in person in Hamburg and livestreamed for remote participants.

The Exile Media Forum is part of the Hamburg Week of Press Freedom, an initiative of the Körber-Stiftung and the ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS.
