Our Journalist Impact Report
[3] Read Report
We’re pleased to publish key insights from our [4] 7th Journalist Impact Survey.The report shares findings on the impact of our legal and financial help, as well as trends affecting the journalists we support around the world.
100%of journalists surveyed have continued their public interest reporting since the case we supported concluded.

64%believe their cases had a positive broader impact, resonating within their countries or regions.

84%of respondents believe that they will face some form of legal action in the future as a result of their journalism.

While our work supports vibrant public interest reporting, threats are increasing and the need for continued legal help is more crucial than ever.
