Journalism on crisis and conflict shapes what the world sees, remembers and does next.
We create space for journalists, editors, activists, and affected communities to think together about how conflict journalism is practiced.
Not to prescribe answers but to build the conditions for better ones.

Recommendations from displaced people to journalists
Our second guide is being built right now
117.8 million
people are forcibly displaced today. Research shows they are rarely the ones telling their own story. We are changing that, starting with how the guide gets made.
The guide programme
Multi-stakeholder processes that produce practical resources for more people-centred, community-led conflict reporting.
Podcasts on journalism
Public dialogues on how war, social crisis, and humanitarian issues are covered, with journalists, editors, human rights activists, and the people living it.
Thinking on journalism practice
Essays and questions on language, power and how we cover conflict from aidóni and contributors. Ideas worth sitting with, not just reading once.
Born out of a workshop at PeaceCon 2024, the Community-Centred Peace Journalism Guide brings together twelve recommendations from local peacebuilders to journalists covering conflict.
It is not a manual. It is a framework, grounded in real conversations, that invites journalists to reflect on their own biases, centre human experience, and approach on peace and conflict journalism with greater depth, accountability and care.
ABOUT aidóni
a hub for conflict and crisis journalism that does better
We believe journalism on crisis and conflict can be more accurate, more inclusive, and more useful. That belief is what aidóni is built on.
aidóni is a journalistic hub for thinking, talking about, and reimagining how crisis and conflict are reported. We work upstream: at the level of practice, standards, and conversation among journalists and the communities they cover.
We are international by necessity, collective rather than personality-driven, and focused where the consequences of journalism are highest.
People-centred
Lived experience is knowledge, not a source to extract from.
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.
Thinking
Essays on journalism, language and power
Not a blog. A space for questions we are genuinely working through, on peace journalism, conflict reporting and who gets to tell the story. With the honesty of people who are figuring it out, not the confidence of people who have all the answers.
And what we try to do instead.
On what it actually takes for people to talk to each other.
On a word that does more work than we admit.
