Reporters Respond: emergency & legal support
Around the world, journalism faces increasing and unprecedented levels of repression, violence, intimidation, and judicial harassment. If journalists are being attacked and silenced, the media cannot provide their audiences with the independent and reliable news that people need in order to stay informed and thrive.

#StopSLAPPs-campagne | Het gevaar van SLAPPs
SLAPPs (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) zijn rechtszaken en juridische dreigementen die worden ingezet om kritische journalistiek te ontmoedigen. Ze vormen een groeiende bedreiging voor persvrijheid en kunnen leiden tot zelfcensuur, vertraging van onderzoeken en minder toegang tot onafhankelijke informatie. Free Press Unlimited ondersteunt journalisten die doelwit zijn van SLAPPs en zet zich in voor betere bescherming tegen juridische intimidatie.

How to spot fake news: a practical guide to checking information online | Free Press Unlimited
Fake news can sometimes seem easy to spot. A bizarre headline, a striking image, or a story that sounds too good to be true. But misleading information is often much more subtle. It could be a photo presented without context, an old video shared as if it were recent, or a post that contains some truth while leaving out important facts.

Syrian journalists hold the line: How independent media kept reporting through war and transition | Free Press Unlimited
When fighting erupted in southern Syria in July 2025, months after the fall of the Assad regime, journalists kept working despite arrests, injuries, and constant threats. A new evaluation of Free Press Unlimited’s Ethical Journalism for Sustainable Peace in Syria II (EJSP II) programme during 2024 and 2025 shows how Syrian independent media continued their work through the country’s turbulent transition, maintaining ethical standards and building new collaborations across borders.

World Press Freedom Index: Only 1 percent of the world’s population lives in a country where press freedom is categorized as ‘good’ | Free Press Unlimited
For the first time in the history of the World Press Freedom Index, compiled annually by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), more than half of all countries in the world now fall into the ‘difficult’ or “very serious” categories in terms of press freedom. In 25 years, the average score of all 180 countries and territories in the ranking has never been this low. Only 1% of the world’s population lives in a country where press freedom is categorized as ‘good’. In 2002, that was still 20%.

Dossier: The genocide in Gaza
Dossier: The genocide in Gaza
As Israel continues to bomb Gaza relentlessly, we are losing more and more sight of what is actually happening. Never before have so many journalists been killed: more than 2025* since 7 October 2023. The term ‘war’ no longer reflects the scale or severity of the violence Israel is using in Gaza. This violence is highly specific, large-scale, and systematic, and it is directed at the civilian population. The violence perpetrated by Israel meets all the characteristics of genocide. In this dossier you will find updates on the situation for journalists in Gaza, and what we are doing to support journalists and access to information during this genocide. *cpj.org
Dossier: Crisis in Sudan
Dossier: Crisis in Sudan
The situation in Sudan is dire. The outbreak of the armed conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces on 15 April 2023 deepened the suffering of the Sudanese people. This also makes life and work for Sudanese journalists extremely unsafe and difficult. Radio Dabanga works hard to bring reliable information to the people in Sudan from exile. We support in any way we can. Read the latest updates here.
