The International Press Institute (IPI) and five South Asian media organisations on Thursday launched cross-border cooperation to highlight attacks on journalists and create public awareness and influence policymakers to end impunity for crimes against journalists in the region.

News organisations partnering with IPI under the project -- "Covering and investigating attacks against journalists in South Asia: a Cross-Border cooperation" -- are The Daily Star in Bangladesh, The Week – Malayala Manorama in India, Dawn in Pakistan, and Nagarik (Nepali) and myRepublica (English) in Nepal.

"We are excited at the prospect of working with some of South Asia's most respected news organisations to give visibility to the attacks that journalists face in the region as well as their consequences on people's right and ability to be informed," IPI Executive Director Barbara Trionfi said.
