Our work and why it matters
Protecting press freedom has never been more urgent.
In recent years, journalists have been increasingly threatened with physical, legal and online attacks. Record numbers have been imprisoned or exiled.
All the while, new technologies are destroying traditional news business models, with limited data available on how this will impact people and society.
Since 1982, we’ve been supporting independent journalism around the world. Today, we run the world’s largest pro bono legal network for media organisations, civil society, and social enterprises. And our corporate transparency initiative hosts the world’s largest dataset on how companies are using AI and managing their workforce – improving transparency and creating a benchmark for best practice.
Your donation will help us to meet this moment and continue our critical work across our three focus areas: protecting independent media, enabling access to law, and promoting responsible business.
