Journalism centre for Qatar

Reporters Without Borders and the Emirate of Qatar are working together to create a new center for journalists in dire situations. The centre will open in Doha, Qatar by next March,
The center is expected to have a medical facility and temporary accommodation for Arab and Muslim journalists who have been injured or are under threat. The media professionals passing through the centre are likely to come from Iraq, Iran, the Palestinian Territories and any other country where journalists face dangers. In addition to a research center, the establishment will also house a memorial bearing the names of every journalist killed worldwide. link
