Hi all,

I've found this site http://www.ifnm.org

they claim to be an organization whose target is to back up freelance journalists and photographers.

Does it ring a bell to somebody?

I've google it and only their website shows up on the results. Additionally I've searched their post adress on google maps and it appears to be just a house on a peaceful neighboughood.

Any hints?

Not really. Being a web guy, just quickly glancing I can see cheap-outs all over the place.
