Committee to Protect Journalists
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is an American 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that champions press freedom and defends the rights of journalists worldwide. Founded in 1981 by a group of U.S. correspondents, the CPJ is headquartered in New York City and works internationally to protect journalists and promote free expression.
History
The CPJ was established in response to increasing violence against journalists, particularly in Latin America. Its first advocacy campaign in 1982 centered on three British journalists—Simon Winchester, Ian Mather, and Tony Prime—who were arrested while covering the Falklands War in Argentina. A letter from CPJ Honorary Chairman Walter Cronkite played a crucial role in securing their release from prison[1][3]. Since its inception, the CPJ has grown to become a vigilant advocate for press freedom globally.
Mission and Activities
The CPJ's mission is to ensure journalists can report news without fear of reprisal. It documents attacks on journalists, protests violations of press freedom, and advocates for the rights of journalists worldwide[4][5]. The organization compiles annual reports on journalists killed or imprisoned due to their work and publishes the "Impunity Index" and the "Ten Worst Enemies of the Press" list[2][4].
Programs
- Press Freedom Advocacy: CPJ coordinates campaigns to raise awareness about press freedom violations and pressures governments to free jailed journalists[4].
- Annual Reports and Awards: The organization publishes Dangerous Assignments and Attacks on the Press annually to highlight global press freedom conditions. It also hosts the annual International Press Freedom Awards to honor journalists and press freedom advocates[3][4].
- Journalist Safety and Assistance: CPJ provides financial assistance and safety guidance to journalists under threat, supporting legal defenses, exiles, and medical aid[4].
Structure and Funding
CPJ is led by a board of prominent international journalists and is funded by a variety of sources, including grants from the Open Society Foundations[1]. Its network includes experts and correspondents in regions such as the Americas, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, working to monitor and address press freedom concerns[4][5].
Impact
The CPJ's efforts have been instrumental in freeing journalists from imprisonment and advocating for improved press freedom conditions worldwide. It is recognized for its role in promoting journalism and human rights[2][4].

CPJ dozens of journalist groups call for Trump to restore AP access A coalition of journalism and press freedom organizations including CPJ expressed deep concern on February 25 at the White Houses decision to bar Associated Press AP reporters from access to the Oval Office Air Force One and other White House pool events. In a statement calling for the Trump administration to restore APs access the groups said that the global wire service provides essential reporting that is published by thousands of outlets across the United States and around the world helping to keep millions informed on matters of national and international importance. The letter added that barring AP effectively removes these media outlets ability to deliver the news to the groups they serve.
