The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) is the largest global union federation of journalists' trade unions in the world. It represents more than 600,000 media workers from 187 organisations in 146 countries.[1]

The IFJ is an associate member of UNESCO[2] and has represented journalists at the United Nations since 1953 (UN/ILO). It works with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD.

The IFJ President is the French journalist and trade unionist Dominique Pradalié. She succeeded Younes Mjahed. Anthony Bellanger, a French journalist and trade unionist, is the organisation's General Secretary.[3]

Upon request, the IFJ delivers the International Press Card to members of its affiliated organisations, the only press pass endorsed by national journalists' organisations in more than 130 countries.[4]

The Federation's headquarters are located in Brussels, Belgium (155, rue de la Loi).
