Our top 10 crisis reporting resources published in 2024
2024 was an intense year for journalists.
Reporters covered elections in more than 60 countries, capped by the U.S. results that will bring Donald Trump back to the presidency in January. Russia’s war on Ukraine has continued, and Israel’s war with Hamas expanded to Lebanon and deepened the humanitarian suffering in Gaza. Extreme weather events caused widespread destruction in Spain and the U.S., bringing home the growing costs of climate change. And in just the past month, the 50-year rule of the Assad family came crashing down as rebels swept into the country’s capital.
Journalists have responded quickly to report on these events even as they face increased repression from state actors, a collapse in public trust, and the rampant spread of disinformation online. Journalists’ jobs, to put mildly, have not been easy this year.
