Projects
Journalists’ Safety in Georgia
“Journalists’ Safety in Georgia” is a project that monitors violations committed against journalists in Georgia.
Since January 2024, the project has documented actions aimed at obstructing journalists’ work, persecuting journalists based on their profession, and other related activities in Georgia.
Cases of attacks on journalists, harassment, and similar incidents are recorded on a map only if the project team determines that the actions taken against them are connected to their journalistic activities.
The project is funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Georgia.
Journalists’ Safety Ahead of the 2024 Elections
According to the study “Journalists’ Safety Ahead of the 2024 Elections” prepared by the “Center for Media, Information, and Social Research,” the free media is operating in the pre-election period under increasing threats.
The study’s findings highlight the difficult experiences that media representatives have faced over the past six months.
Promoting Media Freedom and Citizen Participation through Access to Public Information
The project aims to support journalists in carrying out their professional duties by ensuring access to public information.
Additionally, through this project, we seek to raise public awareness about the importance of access to public information.
