The Samir Kassir Foundation (SKF) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization, working to spread democratic culture in Lebanon and the Arab world and encourage new talents of free press. SKF hosts the SKeyes Center for Media and Cultural Freedom, which has become the largest operation to monitor and denounce violations of freedom of expression (FoE) in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine. SKF provides high-level capacity building for journalists across the Middle East and North Africa to improve their coverage of sensitive issues, with support from local and international trainers, and world class media development institutions. SKF also provides financial, legal, safety, and relocation support to journalists in distress; it advocates for the reform of legislations and practices that curtail FoE. SKF has developed an expertise in media analysis and qualitative research around digital rights, media consumption patterns, content, and ownership
