Paris: “The House of journalists shelters journalists forced to flee from their country where they are seriously threatened because of their profession.” – “As soon as they have a roof, refugee journalists show a desire to pick up their pen or their microphone again. This is how The Eye of the exile, the newspaper written by the House of journalists' residents, came into being.” – “Settled on 3 levels in a 850 square meters former factory, it has 15 rooms among which 2 are fitted for handicaped people It can welcome 30 journalists per year for stays of a maximum of 6 months.” - http://www.maisondesjournalistes.org

Montréal: I propose a similar facility for Montreal. Beside its shelter function, it will have a special emphasis in creating an interface for communication with a wider public.
