Al Khatt

Al Khatt is a Tunisian non-governmental organization (NGO) that was founded on December 12, 2013. It serves as a think tank and a platform for discussions on the future of journalism in the age of the Internet. Al Khatt's focus is not only on the production of journalistic content but also on its distribution and sharing.

The organization recognizes that the right to free and quality information is a fundamental right for citizens and that working towards press freedom, freedom of expression, and access to information is crucial for establishing a democratic and transparent system in Tunisia. Al Khatt finances its operations through a diversified revenue model. Currently, over 60% of its income comes from its own activities such as training, media education programs, and the development of technological tools and websites.

The organization aims to minimize reliance on grants to ensure editorial independence from political or financial interests. By adopting an alternative economic model to traditional advertising-based models, Al Khatt strives for long-term financial sustainability to support independent and high-quality journalism. The association is managed by a board of directors elected by the general assembly.

Board members serve a two-year term, which can be renewed once. Al Khatt's statutes and financial reports are available for transparency and accountability. For more information, please visit the official Al Khatt website
