Every day, journalists around the world face incredible risks from imprisonment and assassination to simply just "disappearing" all for the ethical practice of their profession. Caught between wars and uprisings and corrupt police and drug cartels, as well as increasingly oppressive censorship laws, they find themselves in some of the most dangerous situations imaginable. This is why the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) continues to create the annual edition of Attacks on the Press.
Started as a simple typewritten list over 25 years ago, this reliable resource has grown to become the definitive annual assessment of press freedoms globally. It provides analyses of media conditions, press freedom violations, and emerging threats to journalists in every corner of the world.
In addition to being an invaluable source of timely information and guidance for media professionals, Attacks on the Press gives voice to journalists globally, providing them with a platform for direct advocacy with governments and a tool for influence at the UN, OAS, EU, AU, and other official bodies.

Operating with a full–time staff of 27 at its New York headquarters and correspondents around the world, its mission is to promote press freedom worldwide by defending the rights of journalists to report the news without fear of reprisal. A 37–member board of prominent journalists directs CPJ′s activities. CPJ does not accept government funding and is financed solely by contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations.
