What should journalists know about US Journalist Assistance Network?

Five major press freedom organizations pooled their resources into a single intake point — CPJ, FPF, IWMF, PEN America, and RCFP — so journalists don't have to figure out which org to call first.

Best for

US journalists who need help but aren't sure which organization to contact. Legal assistance, physical safety, digital security, and immigration support through one coordinated network.

Not for

Journalists outside the US. International journalists should look at CPJ's global programs, Media Defence, or TrialWatch.
