| Desc | CPJ operates five regional programs that cover Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Central Asia, and the Middle East and North Africa. The organization does thematic work around Technology, Journalist Security, and Journalist Assistance. CPJs International Program Network includes team members in Abuja, Bangkok, Beirut, Bogot, Brussels, Istanbul, Mexico City, Nairobi, So Paulo, and Liverpool, along with consultants on Iran and Northeast Asia. 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.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. 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. Through its work in 2015, CPJ: helped win the early release of 55 imprisoned journalists helped secure convictions in the murders of six journalists provided emergency aid to 160 journalists and disbursed more than $100,000 in individual grants conducted meetings with high-level government officials from the European Union, Tunisia, Kenya, and Colombia, among others secured its website with https carried out a series of successful advocacy campaignsAccording to CPJs December 2015 prison census, governments around the world were holding nearly 200 journalists in prison in relation to their work. More than half of the journalists were held on anti-state allegations. Sixty percent of the total number of journalists imprisoned in 2015 were held by just five countriesChina, Egypt, Iran, Eritrea, and Turkey.CPJ publishes alerts, blogs, and letters, carries out campaigns, and works behind the scenes to push for the release of imprisoned journalists. CPJs years-long efforts contributed to the release in 2015 of at least 55 journalists. One Ethiopian columnist, Reeyot Alemu, who was released from prison in July 2015, said, We [as journalists] are trying to be a voice for the voiceless, but when we are arrested, CPJ becomes our voice.CPJs research shows that clear principles for free expression adopted by the Inter-American human rights system, as well as sustained campaigns by international press freedom groups, including CPJ, to eliminate defamation laws contributed to the decline in journalist imprisonments in the Americas. When CPJ conducted its annual prison census in December 2015, no journalist was in jail in the Americas for work-related reasons, the second time this has happened since the organization began compiling annual prison surveys in 1990.Journalists everywhere are not vulnerable only to imprisonment. In 2015, at least 71 journalists were killed in relation to their work, more than two-thirds of them singled out for murder. Islamist militant groups such as Islamic State and Al-Qaeda were responsible for killing 40 percent of the total number of slain journalists. Nine of those killings took place in France, the only work-related deaths of journalists in the country since CPJ began keeping records in 1990. In 2015, France was second to Syria as the most dangerous country for the press, which reflects the growing danger to journalists globally.CPJs research shows that 90 percent of journalist murders are unsolved, and in only 2 percent of the cases are the masterminds ever prosecuted, so the organization has kept up its efforts to secure convictions. Years-long advocacy by CPJ and other groups paid off in 2015 with convictions in the murders of at least six journalists, many of whom were emblematic cases. Journalists reporting critically or on sensitive matters sometimes find themselves in dire situations. Many are attacked in retaliation for their work or are forced to go into hiding after receiving threats. CPJs Journalist Assistance program has 15 years of experience responding to crisis situations and has helped more than 1,000 journalists under threat through a combination of financial and non-financial assistance. CPJ contributes to the legal funds of jailed journalists and supports those who are forced to go into hiding. CPJ works with partner organizations and provides logistical support to journalists in exile as well as medical care for journalists who have been attacked or mistreated in prison. Journalists also face threats in the digital sphere so CPJ has built up its Technology program to confront the emerging threats to press freedom. In 2015, CPJ participated in meetings with U.S. officials to discuss the issue of encryption and to make the case that back doors undermine the work of the press by compromising their communication with sources. CPJ also co-hosted international festivals dedicated to fighting surveillance and censorship.CPJ updated the tech security section of the Journalist Security Guide, which is already available in nine languages, including Farsi, Chinese, and Somali. The organization continues to work with journalists and security experts to spread best practices in the field. CPJ has also adopted new technology to aid in safer communications, such as two-step verification for email and SecureDrop for receiving documents from anonymous sources.CPJs advocacy works. Following the arrest in Turkey in August 2015 of Iraqi journalist Mohammed Ismael Rasool, CPJ and Rasools employer, VICE News, launched a Change.org petition calling for his release. The petition was signed by more than 90,000 people. CPJ conducted advocacy on Rasools behalf for months. In a blog in September, CPJ pointed out that when governments crack down, its often local journalists who end up spending extended time in jail. Rasool was released in January 2016.Journalism students at the University of Maryland, led by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Dana Priest, partnered with CPJ in March 2015 to create a campaign, Press Uncuffed: Free the Press, which highlights cases of imprisoned journalists. The students raised enough funds to create bracelets emblazoned with the journalists names. The campaign, which features CPJ data, won the Do Good Challenge prize, sponsored by the University of Marylands School of Public Policy. At least eight journalists featured in the campaign, including Jason Rezaian from The Washington Post and Khadija Ismayilova from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, were released. Syria was the deadliest country for journalists in 2015, the fourth consecutive year the country has topped the list. Since 2011, at least 94 journalists have been killed covering the conflict. More than 90 journalists have been abducted since 2011, CPJ research shows. Many are still being held, most believed by the militant group Islamic State. CPJ has continued to conduct intensive reporting and advocacy to expose the dangers in Syria, the most treacherous conflict for the media. In 2015, in partnership with other media groups, CPJ set up the Syria Media Safety Resource, a one-stop shop for information that will help local journalists be more secure and access emergency assistance more easily. In February 2015, CPJ joined an unprecedented coalition of news organizations, called the ACOS Alliance (A Culture of Safety), to launch a call for global safety principles. The agreementwhich was signed by 90 journalist and press freedom groups and news organizationsstates that news organizations have a responsibility to support journalists whom they assign to dangerous areas. This initiative is an important step toward improving protections for freelance journalists.CPJ uses a combination of reporting and advocacy to support pr | Desc |

| Desc | The threats faced by political cartoonists came to the worlds attention in early 2015 when gunmen shot dead journalists and cartoonists at the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris. A few months after the attack, CPJ launched a special report on the dangers faced by cartoonists all over the world. The report, called Drawing the Line: Cartoonists under threat, found that with the ability of cartoonists work to simplify complex political situations, they face threats, including imprisonment, hiding, and murder, all over the world. In September 2015, CPJ published a special report that outlined steps the European Union should take to show its commitment to press freedom. While the EU strives to be a global leader in press freedom, it faces challenges from member states that have repressive laws. While CPJ was in Brussels to launch the report, EU officials discussed the need for CPJs independent coverage and analysis of Ukraine, where abuses by all parties have contributed to an information vacuum. To mark World Refugee Day in June 2015, CPJ released a report on exiled journalists, called Exiled: When the most dangerous place for journalists is your country. In a one-year period, at least 82 journalists fled from 30 different countries, CPJ research shows. The report highlights the lives of four journalists fleeing the war in Syria. In May 2015, CPJ joined the Colombian group Fundacin para la Libertad de Prensa (Foundation for a Free Press) to meet Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos to discuss press freedom concerns in the country, including threats against journalists and the high level of impunity in journalist murders. Santos, a former journalist, told the delegation that combating impunity would be his priority. I have been a press freedom advocate for more than 40 years, and I care deeply about the issue, he said. The next month, a court sentenced the mastermind of the 2002 murder of journalist Orlando Sierra Hernndez. CPJ published a report about the 1988 murder of Peruvian war correspondent Hugo Bustos Saavedra. Daniel Urresti Elera, a former interior minister and army general, was charged in February 2015 in connection with Bustos murder, but was seeking a presidential nomination. CPJ conducted a reporting mission to Peru and met with Urresti, Bustos wife, and other journalists to gather information. In October 2015, a month after CPJs report was published, Urresti wrote a letter to the president, saying he was withdrawing his nomination so he could focus on the trial. | Desc |
