Facts Matter.
To choose our leaders.
To define our future
To navigate our lives.
Imagine a world without a free press
In 2024, half of the world’s population will be selecting their leaders. Independent information about the candidates, the issues and the facts in their campaigning, is essential.
Journalists face smear campaigns, blocked access and arbitrary arrest intended to stop and censor their reporting on elections. The Committee to Protect Journalists works to help reporters stay safe, documents violations, and advocates for a free and independent press.
Will you stand with a free press this year?
