Often, the most important contributors to international reporting projects are those who work behind the scenes: fixers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFixers are necessary anywhere you don\u2019t know the area,\u201d explained Joshua Leonard<\/a>, a reality TV producer who directs shows that are filmed in many countries. Even when they shoot in an English-speaking country, he said, they hire a fixer to make the crew\u2019s work easier.<\/p>\n

Each fixer is different, but broadly speaking, fixers act as a source of local knowledge for media networks, advertising companies and other organizations that need logistics, an interpreter and sometimes production help in foreign countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have people from academic backgrounds, ex-police officers, ex-government communication members, people with different kinds of knowledge which [is] very valuable,\u201d said Mike Garrod<\/a>, director of World Fixer<\/a>, a platform that connects clients and fixers around the world. Currently, the platform has more than 6,500 members.<\/p>\n

The skills required from a good fixer go beyond knowing a second language, said Habib Zohori<\/a>, an Afghan journalist and fixer. Knowing the area is also extremely important \u2014 but what really makes someone a good fixer is having good connections.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t know people, you won\u2019t be able to get what your foreign colleague needs,\u201d said Zohori. \u201cI have more than 10,000 phone numbers that I\u2019ve been accumulating through the years. Sometimes I call people I didn\u2019t need to interview just to build a relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zohori started working as a translator for an international network out of financial necessity, and soon found the job to be an eye-opening experience, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt opened so many doors for me, in terms of knowing the world, the politics, the things that were happening in Afghanistan,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know what was going on in my own country, but once I started traveling outside of that small bubble I was living in Kabul, I realized that people were suffering and there was war everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

In conflict areas, fixers often face greater risks<\/a> to their safety than international correspondents. This has raised questions<\/a> over the degree to which journalists and media outlets are responsible for keeping their fixers safe, versus pursuing an ambitious story.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen foreign journalists travel to these countries, they shouldn\u2019t put pressure on their fixers and drivers to get them everything they want,\u201d Zohori said. \u201cIf a fixer says something is impossible, it is because their lives will be in danger [and] you should respect that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another long-running controversy<\/a> is the question of whether fixers \u2014 especially those working in conflict zones \u2014 get enough credit (and bylines) for their work on a story.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just feel we should be awarded intellectually as well for our work,\u201d said Zohori. \u201cIt is not a money issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside of conflict zones, fixers will find themselves in high demand once international media outlets flock to their area to cover other major stories news, as happened in Brazil during the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 2014 World Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more precarious the infrastructure of a country, the more necessary the fixer is, especially in places where people don\u2019t speak English and it\u2019s not safe,\u201d explained Carin Petti<\/a>, one of the owners of Brazil Media Base<\/a>, a company that provides fixers and facilities for foreign media companies in Brazil.<\/p>\n

Even if fixers aren\u2019t working in a war zone, the work still comes with challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cA fixer has to know that it is not always glamour, sometimes it demands long hours of work,\u201d Petti said. \u201c[She] needs to be available to carry bags, plan the logistics, book transportation and accommodation and also deal with contingencies, such as the journalist getting sick, for example.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fixers looking for additional support can check out the HackPack platform<\/a>, which aims to connect fixers with freelancers; a new insurance policy<\/a> which covers fixers; and safety guidelines<\/a> which freelancers and fixers should review with their newsrooms prior to accepting assignments.<\/p>\n
