Globe International is implementing a project titled Monitoring Press Freedom and Supporting Independent Media in Mongolia with the support of Open Society Institute based in London.
The main goal of this 2-year project is to protect the rights and independence of journalists by monitoring threats and attacks on journalists and media organisations thus contributing to promoting greater media freedom. Globe International has been monitoring the free expression violations since October 2005 with OSI Network Media Program support, and we registered 157 cases against media and journalists. Globe International is going to establish a self-alerting monitoring system, so that journalists would be able to report on their cases by themselves, not through somebody, i.e. a local monitor based in the provinces.
The project objectives are to build capacity of the journalists to get involved in a reliable self-alerting monitoring network, to promote the journalists’ awareness on reporting on violations of their rights and to educate them on legal safety and to publicise the free expression violations through national and international networks and campaign to protect the journalists.
