SAMDEN is a network of media professionals working on issues of shrinking journalistic space in South Asia.




South Asia Media Defence Network
South Asia has a poor record in the areas of freedom of speech and expression where the space for voicing dissenting opinions has shrunk, gradually but alarmingly. With growing attacks against the press in mind, in late 2017, CHRI launched its newest initiative, the South Asia Media Defenders Network (SAMDEN) to monitor, address and campaign to solve problems faced by journalists in the region.
