CPJ launched a new data management system in 2025 to improve how we track and publish information on killed, missing, and imprisoned journalists. A complete redesign of our data pages is scheduled for 2026 to enhance the display and exploration of these datasets. Learn more about the four datasets CPJ carries and its research approach in the Data Methodology, FAQs, and Glossary.
