Conflict in Gaza, war in Ukraine, a battle over the global environment – the world is becoming an increasingly hostile place, particularly for frontline journalists.

The Guardian is marking World Press Freedom Day with a series of articles about the threats posed to all types of reporters.

We want to use our platform to highlight the work they are doing, often in incredibly dangerous circumstances. Without the courage of correspondents working in conflict areas, press organisations warn the world will start to see “zones of silence” where important stories go unreported.

The risks may be growing, and the space to operate may be increasingly constrained, but we are more determined than ever to tell the stories of our age so that you, the readers, have the information to act as voters, citizens, consumers and participants in the web of life on Earth.

If you’re able to, please support the Guardian’s independent, open journalism on a monthly basis today from as a little as £4.
