In 2023: 

  • Our network grew to more than 177,000 journalists. This includes our core network of program participants over the past five years, as well as people who receive weekly resources from our International Journalists’ Network (IJNet), published in eight languages.
  • We served more than 30,000 journalists with 68 programs in 95 countries. This included more than 3,650 hours of mentorship and 540 reporting and project grants.
     



The ICFJ network is a powerful line of defense against increasing assaults on truth and rising authoritarianism. By exposing injustice, fighting disinformation and shedding light on underreported stories, the journalists we serve improve and, in some cases, even save lives.
