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.
