Explore all CPJ data

CPJ launched a new data management system in 2025, made possible by the generous support of the Leon Levy Foundation, to improve how we track and publish information on killed, missing, and imprisoned journalists. Learn more about the four datasets CPJ carries and its research approach in the Data Methodology, FAQs, and Glossary. 

The data below is updated continuously. Our regional teams monitor developments daily and update records as new information becomes available. The data reflects what we can confirm at any given time, and is revised as our understanding deepens.
