| Mission | The Committee to Protect Journalists promotes press freedom worldwide and defends the right of journalists to report the news without fear of reprisal. CPJ ensures the free flow of news and commentary by taking action wherever journalists are attacked, imprisoned, killed, kidnapped, threatened, censored, or harassed. Hundreds of journalists are killed, harassed, or imprisoned every year. For more than 35 years, the Committee to Protect Journalists has been there to defend them worldwide. | MissionDesc |

| Desc | CPJ operates five regional programs that cover Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Central Asia, and the Middle East and North Africa and are led by experts from all over the world who report daily on press freedom abuses. Our staff hails from a variety of countries including Afghanistan, Argentina, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Canada, Colombia, Egypt, India, Pakistan, South Africa, and Tibet. CPJs International Program Network includes team members in Bangkok, Beirut, Bogot, Brussels, Istanbul, Mexico City, Nairobi, So Paulo, and Liverpool, along with a consultant on Iran. In late 2016, CPJ formed an Emergencies Response Team, which merges our work in journalist assistance and security to give our organization unprecedented capacity to respond quickly when journalists are in danger. The team is made up of experts in physical safety, digital security, and journalist assistance. We hired our first-ever Journalist Safety Specialist, Colin Pereira, who is based in London and is a world-renowned security expert. Last year, CPJ supported more than 160 journalists and disbursed to 105 individual journalists 68 grants totaling more than $150,000. We also updated our Journalist Security Guide, which is now available in 11 languages: Arabic, Burmese, Chinese, English, Farsi, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Somali, and Turkish. CPJ has established Advisory Groups for most of its regional programs. These groups are made up of leading journalists, experts, and press freedom advocates who advise CPJ staff on how to achieve greater impact and gain access and increase outreach in countries where they have influence or expertise. CPJ also works with local, regional, and international media and human rights groups in order to maintain a global presence. CPJ has vast international networks and collaborative relationships with local and international freedom of expression and human rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, Article 19, International PEN, and Reporters Sans Frontires. CPJ is a founding member of IFEX, an organization made up of 95 global freedom of expression groups. When a small group of U.S. journalists formed CPJ 35 years ago it was to defend the rights of their colleagues abroad. We continue to do so. Today, CPJ is recognized as a leader in the press freedom movement. We are distinguished by the high quality of our reporting, a reputation for political independence, decades of experience, and an influential board of directors. CPJ takes action when journalists are under threat in relation to their work. The organizations meticulous reporting and documentation help propel its advocacy. CPJ research consists of data collected using the most stringent guidelines, and its database of journalists killed in the line of duty is the only one of its kind in the world. CPJs reportingwhich includes alerts, blogs, letters, statements, press releases, and special reportsis amplified by media coverage and social media. All of the organizations published work is available online at https://cpj.org. We are also focused on defending journalists in the U.S., where press freedom and free expression are more important than ever. Preserving a free press in the U.S. is essential to ensure not only that journalists here can work freely but also to uphold CPJs global mandate of protecting press freedom worldwide. So we will continue with our mission of defending journalists around the world. Journalists are facing an unprecedented threat as conflict has escalated globally. In fact, this is the deadliest and most dangerous time for journalists since CPJ opened its doors in 1981. Record numbers of journalists are being killed, imprisoned, and kidnapped. Requests for assistance from journalists at risk have soared. The technology that has helped the flow of global information has empowered both governments and nonstate actors to expand surveillance and censorship. Political revolutions from Egypt to Ukraine have shown the disruptive power of information, and repressive governments are taking action to control online speech and suppress independent voices. According to our 2016 prison census, at least 259 journalists were behind bars in reprisal for their work, the highest number CPJ has recorded since we began keeping detailed records in 1990. Nearly 70 percent of the journalists imprisoned worldwide were held by just five jailersTurkey, which accounted for nearly a third of the total number, China, Egypt, Eritrea, and Ethiopia. But that number would be far higher without CPJs intervention. In the past five years, CPJ advocacy has helped win the early release from prison of at least 263 journalists from countries ranging from Somalia to Saudi Arabia, Myanmar to Iran to Turkey. We helped spring at least 51 of them in 2016 alone. Journalists are no longer viewed as observers, but instead as targets. All told, in the past five years, more than 300 journalists have been killed in reprisal for their work. At least 48 journalists were killed in 2016 alone, with war being the deadliest beat for journalists. Syria is on track to be the most dangerous country for journalists for the fifth year in a row. Murder is the ultimate form of censorship and impunity breeds fear. That is why CPJ carries out a global campaign for justice in journalist murders. The challenges are significant, but we are beginning to see signs of progress, including a reduction of journalists murdered. Since 2012, advocacy by CPJ and other groups have helped win convictions in the murders of nearly 35 journalists, many of them emblematic cases for us. In 2016, our work helped secure convictions in the murders of at least nine journalists. In late October, CPJ released our Impunity Index, which spotlights countries where journalists are slain and their killers go free. CPJs 2016 index found that some of the highest rates of impunity in journalist murders can be attributed to killings by Islamist militant groups. The worst country for the second year in a row is Somalia, followed by Iraq and Syria, where Islamic State members murdered at least six journalists in the past year. Violence against journalists by criminal groups and officials allowed impunity to tighten its grip in Latin America, with Brazil and Mexico each moving two spots higher on the index. In response to the spike in press freedom violations in Turkey, CPJ in March launched the Turkey Crackdown Chronicle, a diary of anti-press abuses. During a mission in March, we met with journalists, including many who have been prosecuted over their critical reporting. We testified on Turkey before the House Foreign Affairs Committees Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, and Emerging Threats before and after the coup attempt in July. Our Journalist Assistance program has provided support to journalists who are under threat, and our Journalist Security Guide has been translated into Turkish. CPJ launched a report on defamation in the Americas in March at a panel discussion, co-sponsored by the Peru-based group Instituto Prensa y Sociedad, or IPYS, in Lima. The reportprepared for CPJ by Debevoise & Plimpton LLP in collaboration with the Thomson Reuters Foundation, a media development and training organizationshowed how the use of criminal defamation laws to target journalists threatens free expression. The report was shortlisted for the 2016 TrustLaw Collaboration Award. In July, the Pentagon issued an updated version of its Law of War Manual, which recognizes the role of journalists to report on war and arrange meetings with different sides, including enemy personnel. The manual was updated after CPJ and other groups criticized the first version, released in 2015, and met with Pentagon officials to advise them on changes. The 2015 version contained language used to justify the categorization of journalists as unprivileged belligerents. At CPJs 2016 International Press Freedom Awards dinner on November 22, CPJ honored Malini Subramaniam, an Indian investigative journalist who was forced to flee her home; Can Dndar, former editor of Cumhuriyet in Turkey who faces legal harassment and imprisonment; and scar Martnez, an investigative journalist who lives with 24-hour security at his home in El Salvador. CPJ also honored freelance photographer Mahmoud Abou Zeid (Shawkan), who has been jailed in Egypt since August 2013. Many of the guests at the dinner joined our campaign to #FreeShawkan by being photographed holding a sign that says #FreeShawkan and posting it on social media. That night, #FreeShawkan was the third trending hashtag on Twitter in the U.S. CPJ also honored Christiane Amanpour, chief international correspondent and anchor at CNN, with the Burton Benjamin Memorial Award for her extraordinary and sustained achievement in the cause of press freedom. In her speech, Amanpour made a resounding call to action. If ever theres a time to celebrate, honor, protect, and mobilize for press freedom and basic good journalism, its now, she said. | Desc |
