| IFEX Network: an original experience
The International Freedom of Expression and Exchange Network was originally set up as an electronic alert and co-ordination network by several non-governmental and professional organisations. Their objective was to enhance information-sharing and the efficiency of their reactions to cases of violation of press freedom. Operational since September 1992, IFEX is co-ordinated by the Toronto-based Canadian Committee to Protect Journalists and supported by UNESCO. Today the IFEX network comprises
over 25 different expression groups located everywhere from the Pacific
Islands to Europe to West Africa and gathers 357 subscribers in
92 countries.
