Privacy resources for journalists

We hope you never need to think about tear gas masks, bulletproof vests, or your rights as journalists or humans being violated. But when you do, these orgs can help.

Committee to Protect Journalists — CPJ is made up of about 40 experts around the world, with headquarters in New York City. When press freedom violations occur, CPJ mobilizes a network of correspondents who report and take action on behalf of those targeted.

Freedom of the Press Foundation — FPF builds secure communications tools used by many of the world’s top investigative news organizations. They teach journalists how to keep themselves and their sources safe in the digital age.

Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press — The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (RCFP) is the leading pro bono legal services organization for journalists and newsrooms in the U.S. The Reporters Committee provides legal representation, amicus curiae support, and other legal resources at no cost to protect First Amendment freedoms and the newsgathering rights of journalists across the country.

International Women’s Media Foundation — We unleash the potential of women journalists as champions of press freedom to transform the global news media.

The ACLU — The ACLU works in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and the laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country.
