According to the Afghan Journalists Foundation, media workers in the nation are in the worst economic circumstances, with 79% of them losing their employment and turning to other professions to get money and live.

Due to the fragile economic situation, the Foundation has assessed the lives of Afghan journalists during the last one and a half months and discovered that they are experiencing the worst existence possible. Prior to it, figures showed that up to 75% of Afghanistan's media outlets were closed owing to financial difficulties, according to the study. According to the Foundation's findings, 91 percent of Afghan journalists are content with their choice of career, while only 8% are dissatisfied.

The study comprised 462 Afghan journalists from around the country, with 390 men and 72 women participating. The Foundation urged the international community and the Taliban government in Afghanistan to intervene in the journalists' financial condition. It comes as journalists' advocates in Afghanistan have often been chastised for abusing their positions for personal gain over the previous two decades, and for leaving Afghanistan without accomplishing anything.
