Committee to Protect Journalists

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is an independent nonprofit organization based in New York City, dedicated to promoting press freedom around the world. Founded by journalists over 40 years ago, CPJ advocates for the rights of journalists to report safely and without fear of reprisal, focusing on repressive countries, conflict zones, and established democracies. CPJ's mission emphasizes the importance of freedom of expression as a fundamental human right. The organization conducts extensive research and reporting on press freedom violations, publishes alerts and special reports, and provides safety information and emergency assistance to journalists. Additionally, CPJ engages with governments to advocate for policy changes and offers psychosocial support to journalists facing threats or trauma. Through its efforts, CPJ has contributed to legal reforms and the release of imprisoned journalists, highlighting its commitment to a free and safe press environment.
