> The investigation by the Guardian and 16 other media organisations suggests widespread and continuing abuse of NSO’s hacking spyware, Pegasus, which the company insists is only intended for use against criminals and terrorists.

Usually, joint investigations between multiple media outlets are released in a planned fashion. It's rare to see 17 news outlets collaborate on one story, but when "more than 180 journalists" have been targeted with Pegasus, it may be that the targeted journalists worked together on this investigation, using their exploited devices as evidence.
