Free legal support for journalists and media organisations
Legal Service for Independent Media
We provide a range of free legal services to support independent newsrooms, journalists and media freedom focused non-profits. Our tailored assistance aims to strengthen the resilience and sustainability of independent media so they can counter legal threats safely and effectively.
Our corporate data disclosure platform
Workforce Disclosure Initiative
The Workforce Disclosure Initiative (WDI) is one of the world’s leading data platforms on corporate disclosure. It collates data that companies voluntarily disclose on workforce practices across their operations and supply chains. The data is then shared with signatory investors, who collectively manage $7.5 trillion in assets, to guide their investment strategies.
Our journalism
Our award-winning news platform provides critical analysis around three of the most significant and interconnected issues of our time: climate change, the effects of technology on society, and socio-economic inequality. Context’s human-centered journalism adheres to the Thomson Reuters Trust Principles of integrity, independence and freedom from bias.
