Defend journalists at this challenging time

We won’t mince words—the years ahead pose a grave threat to press freedom.

Journalists will be on the frontlines as they work to inform the public on matters ranging from government corruption and local politics to foreign affairs and national security.

But they must not face these threats alone. We need you to stand with us and journalists across the country.

When journalists and newsrooms come under attack, the Reporters Committee stands up to defend the public’s right to information, fighting in courtrooms and serving as a vocal champion of the free press, from federal courts all the way to county and local jurisdictions.

Now, with fewer institutional guardrails in place and the courts increasingly skeptical of First Amendment rights, the threats to press freedom are even more severe.

Our attorneys are prepared to defend journalists against subpoenas for their sources, protect newsrooms facing retaliation and threats for their reporting, and fight back against government interference in the very activities that keep the public informed.

Your donation makes a profound difference in protecting our free press. Give generously now, and in the difficult periods to come.
