*Journalism Under Pressure – Reporting in Authoritarian Democracies*
*November 3 and 4, 2025, Oslo, Norway*
The research group MEKK at OsloMet, in cooperation with the Fritt Ord Foundation, is pleased to announce the call for papers for the 11th annual Conference on the Safety of Journalists. The conference will take place during the first week of November, in connection with the UN’s International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists.
Over the years, the MEKK conferences have become an important meeting point for professionals and organisations working on journalist safety. These gatherings have led to valuable academic partnerships and have resulted in collaborative papers, workshops, and publications, by bringing together practicing journalists, educators, and researchers.
