Blueprint for Free Speech, the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism (RISJ), the International Center For Journalists (ICFJ), the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN), Signals Network and the World Editors Forum launched a new report outlining how journalists can work responsibly to safeguard whistleblowers. The report was compiled by Julie Posetti, Dr Suelette Dreyfus and Naomi Colvin, alongside a roundtable of 20 international journalists and experts hosted by Blueprint.

 Through TrustLaw, the Thomson Reuters Foundation’s global pro bono service, Blueprint for Free Speech was connected to law firm Nishith Desai Associates who provided legal research on whether the guidelines had any kind of basis or precedent in law.
