Our understanding of press freedom issues in our region is pathetically sparse. We need a better understanding of the complex pressures on journalists across the region. This tracker provides an overview of the region so organisations, governments, journalists and the general public can track the status of these issues and how they’ve evolved to aid the development of collaborative and cross-industry solutions to support press freedom and democratic principles in the Asia–Pacific.

We need funding for an ongoing researcher and the purchase of software. There is a 10% admin component.
