CPJ to be featured in materials for attendees of the annual Vanity Fair Oscar Party
New York, March 7, 2024—Global media publisher Condé Nast and international press freedom organization Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) announced a new partnership Thursday to help promote journalist freedom and safety.
As part of the partnership, Condé Nast will help raise awareness and funds for CPJ by using its platforms and resources, including creative and advertising support linked to World Press Freedom Day, marked annually on May 3 to highlight the crucial role journalists play in holding power to account.
“It goes without saying that journalism is under pressure around the world—from the business models we operate, to press freedom and safety,” Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch said. “The Committee to Protect Journalists is a vital organization for many reasons, not the least of which is that even in the most trying times, in war and conflict, they are on the frontlines fighting for the rights of journalists to report news safely and without fear. Condé Nast has long been a supporter of CPJ, and I’m thrilled that we are deepening our relationship with them,” Lynch added.
To kick off the partnership, CPJ will be featured in materials for attendees of the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, an annual celebration following the award ceremony, now in its 30th year. In addition, CPJ will be included in other Condé Nast events throughout the year. Condé Nast will also be a leading participant at CPJ’s annual International Press Freedom Award dinner, to be held in November.
“Condé Nast is a world-renowned publisher with an over 100-year history of producing powerful journalism, from Vogue’s coverage of World War II through the eyes of celebrated photographer Lee Miller, to Vanity Fair’s exposé of the tobacco industry in the 1990s, to The New Yorker’s Emmy-award-winning virtual reality documentary on China’s ‘re-education camps.’ I am delighted to be partnering with them in what is a pivotal moment for journalists and journalism,” said CPJ CEO Jodie Ginsberg.
