Reporters Without Borders was founded in Montpellier (France) in 1985 by four journalists: Robert Ménard, Rémy Loury, Jacques Molénat and Émilien Jubineau. This association, registered as a non-profit organisation in France since 1995, soon took on an international dimension.
Our missions are:
* To continuously monitor attacks on freedom of information worldwide;
* To denounce any such attacks in the media;
* To act in cooperation with governments to fight censorship and laws aimed at restricting freedom of information;
* To morally and financially assist persecuted journalists, as well as their families.
* To offer material assistance to war correspondents in order to enhance their safety.
