It is now very dangerous to be a journalist and journalistic cooperation is the only way to continue practicing the profession. The collective Forbidden Stories, founded for this purpose, is in Jordan. Threatened journalists can store their sensitive information in a digital safe. This way, the information is secured in case they are unable to complete their work themselves. And in Azerbaijan, a consortium is continuing the investigation of four journalists arrested by authorities. With Laurent Richard, Bastian Obermayer and Frederik Obermaier.
