Journalist Assistance Network

Journalist Assistance Network to address growing need for legal, safety, immigration resources

Active
Since 2025
USA

Five major U.S.-based press freedom organizations announced Thursday the launch of a network to provide legal and safety resources and training to journalists and newsrooms in the United States. The Journalist Assistance Network comprises five founding members: the Committee to Protect Journalists, Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), International Women’s Media Foundation, PEN America, and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. Since the November 2024 U.S. election, requests for assistance from journalists and newsrooms in a wide range of areas have increased significantly to each of the five groups. The requests include everything from digital and physical security advice to immigration guidance, legal risk assessment, and newsgathering support.
