About RFG
Mission
RFG Media is an organisation by and for refugee journalists. RFG stands for ReFuGee.
We are driven by a dual mission. The first is to help refugee journalists secure a place in the Dutch labor market. The second is to amplify the voices of refugee journalists, making them heard more frequently and clearly. With their knowledge, expertise, and experience, they offer different and valuable perspectives in journalism. We believe that this alternative perspective can contribute to diverse and balanced reporting.
Approach
We provide various forms of guidance and training for journalists with a refugee background, both individually and in groups. We organize networking events, editorial visits, and training sessions on professional topics. We facilitate internships, work placements, and paid assignments. The work of our journalists is published on our own platform and in other media outlets
Team
RFG Media is a network organization. We operate with a small team of freelance professionals and a large group of highly motivated volunteers. All RFG staff members have extensive experience in media, both in the Netherlands and abroad. Together, we are dedicated to creating opportunities for refugee media professionals. The foundation’s five-member board oversees the continuity and sustainability of our services.
