The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that works to advocate and protect the rights of journalists around the world.
It is based in New York City. Its main goal is to make sure that journalists can report news freely without facing threats, violence or censorship. The CPJ monitors cases of journalists who are imprisoned, harassed or attacked because of their work.[2] It also raises awareness about the importance of a free press and freedom of expression. By doing so, the CPJ helps to protect journalists and uphold the principles of journalism that are crucial in a democratic society.
