Journalism on crisis and conflict shapes what the world sees, remembers and does next.
We create space for people to think together about how journalism is practiced.
Not to prescribe answers but to create the conditions for better ones.
The guide programme
Multi-stakeholder processes that produce practical resources for more people-centred conflict reporting.
Podcast
Public dialogues on how conflict is covered, with journalists, editors, activists, and the people living it.
Thinking
Essays and questions from aidóni and contributors. Ideas worth sitting with, not just reading once.
About
We exist because of what journalism gets wrong, and what it could get right.
aidóni is a journalistic hub for thinking, talking about, and reimagining how crisis and conflict are covered. We work upstream, at the level of practice, standards, and conversation.
We are international by necessity, collective rather than personality-driven, and focused where the consequences of journalism are highest.
Constructive
Context and response, not only crisis and disruption.
Inclusive
Dignity, not diversity optics. Margins, not margins of error.
Solutions-oriented
What is possible, not only what has gone wrong.
People-centred
Lived experience is knowledge, not a source to extract from.
Thinking
Ideas worth sitting with
Not a blog. A space for questions we are genuinely working through, with the honesty of people who are trying, not the confidence of people who have all the answers.
