Dear Friend,

The latest event from Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), “Behind the Headlines: Victims of Newsroom Raids in Marion and Tampa Tell Their Stories,” is now available on demand in the events archive. 

A police raid of the Marion County Record in Kansas made national headlines in August. But you may not know that the FBI raided the home newsroom of another journalist in Florida in May. Are journalists being raided just for doing their jobs?

Seth Stern, FPF’s director of advocacy, welcomes Marion County Record editor and owner Eric Meyer and independent journalist Tim Burke as they update us on each of these troubling incidents, and discuss what’s next in the fight to defend and foster a courageous press.

This is the latest event hosted by FPF, and joins several webinars that you can now watch on demand in the events archive. Feel free to share a Digital Security 101 webinar with a loved one, send your school the discussion on Digital Security Education for Journalism Schools, or rewatch the training for Defense Against the Doxx Arts yourself.

The events archive also examines FPF’s many important programs, such as the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker, SecureDrop, and Dangerzone. It also includes our initial Behind the Headlines event recorded in May, with the Asheville Blade journalists updating us on their legal fight following their Christmas arrests in 2021.

There is a lot of information there, and we’re here if you need any assistance with your own digital security training or want to know more about FPF’s work in general. 

Thank you, and we appreciate your support as we continue to fight together to protect press freedom.

In solidarity,

Ryan Rice
Membership Coordinator
