It focuses on the financial situation of media houses and sheds light on reporting restrictions and the situation of journalists.

Respondents shared their clear recommendations for the support of media and media professionals in Afghanistan by international actors.

The survey results were discussed in February 2022 in the Media Freedom Talk Six Months after the Fall of Kabul, organised in cooperation with Reporters Without Borders. The video of the event is available to view here:
