Food for Thought with Jesper Højberg

Jesper Højberg is the Executive Director of International Media Support (IMS), a Denmark-based civil society organization dedicated to supporting media in conflict zones and areas of political transition. He founded IMS in 2001, in the wake of the Rwanda genocide, and has since worked globally to strengthen journalism and protect media workers in challenging environments. With over 30 years of experience in journalism, social research, and media development, Jesper’s career includes roles as director of a UNESCO Film School in Zimbabwe and coordinator for the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Civil Society Development programme in South Eastern Europe. Jesper’s commitment to free and responsible media has never wavered, even in the face of increasing threats against journalists from Gaza to Myanmar, Sudan, and beyond.
