The Team
Behind Exit Wounds Media's field reporting, is a small, dedicated team whose work makes independent journalism possible. From coordinating travel and managing logistics on the ground to translating interviews and connecting with local sources, their contributions are essential to every stage of the reporting process. Working across borders, the team helps bring stories of conflict, displacement, and the people affected by them to light. This work would not be possible without them.
