In January 2023, the SFJ considered withdrawing from the IFJ due to disagreements over the role of Russian Union of Journalists (RUJ) following the invasion of Ukraine and that union's membership in the IFJ. While a number of Nordic unions did withdraw, the SFJ chose to remain affiliated to the IFJ due to the RUJ's suspension from the IFJ and need to maintain international linkages.[1][2]
The SJF has a membership of more than 19 000 members:
1,700 are retired members, 700 are students in journalism, and an additional 1,000 are unemployed.
