European network

A european network to talk about migration differently

Guiti News is an online media outlet for the general public that offers a dual perspective on the major themes of our society. For a fairer, more complex and more coherent vision of today’s world, Guiti News presents only reports produced by a collaboration of two people: a French journalist and an exiled colleague.

In this same logic of reflection, we are creating a network of media mobilized to change the media discourse on migration and exile. The goal is to advocate for the humanization of stories, a recognition of the complexities and nuances in the identities of people interviewed, an increased attention to commonly used but harmful terms used to speak on topics surrounding migration and to advocate for people with lived experience of migration to reclaim the narrative.
