About Index:

Index on Censorship is Britain's leading organisation that campaigns for, reports on and defends free expression worldwide. We publish work by censored writers and artists, promote debate and monitor threats to free speech. Our work is varied and always rewarding. On any given day we will be publishing letters written by Belarus political prisoners and defending a cartoonist being accused of causing offence - all to make the case that freedom of expression is vital for democracy and for a vibrant and creative society.

At the organisation's heart and in circulation since 1972 is an award-winning quarterly magazine that has featured some of the world's best-known writers. In addition to the magazine is a website, a weekly newsletter, a policy arm and an events programme. Together they make Index what it is today - the go-to for information on the global free speech landscape.
