The Western Balkans Journalists’ Safety Index (Index) is a research-based tool designed to measure and monitor changes in the respective social and political environments of the Western Balkan countries that have a direct or indirect impact on the safety of journalists and media professionals while practicing their profession.
The index relies on the research data collected and analysed by the partners of the SafeJournalists.net based on a rigorous research procedure.
The collected data on different dimensions of the complex concept of “journalists’ safety” are quantified and aggregated into a composite indicator – Journalists’ Safety Index, in order to measure the changes across the seven countries of the Western Balkans over time.
