Dear Press Freedom Supporter,

I am delighted to tell you that CPJ's Board of Directors has
named veteran press freedom advocate Jodie Ginsberg to be the next
leader of the Committee to Protect Journalists. You can read the
formal announcement here

.

Jodie has worked on various press freedom projects with CPJ over the
years in her current position as CEO of Internews Europe and her
previous work as CEO of Index on Censorship.

A dual South African and British citizen, she began her career as a
journalist for Reuters, working across southern Africa, Ivory Coast
and Nigeria. She was also based for a few years in Ireland and then
became the Reuters bureau chief for the UK and Ireland before moving
into advocacy work.

Jodie was chosen after an extensive global search led by a
seven-member board committee supported by experienced professionals at
the Spencer Stuart global leadership advisory firm. We first gathered
input on important qualities for CPJ's next leader from staff,
funders, directors, and other key supporters. More than 200 candidates
were considered before an intensive interview and vetting process.

Jodie is expected to take up her position based at CPJ's New
York headquarters in April, after wrapping up her obligations at
Internews Europe. Until then, Robert Mahoney, CPJ's deputy
executive director, will continue to lead CPJ supported by a team of
skilled directors who oversee its vital operations.

CPJ has been extremely fortunate to have Joel Simon at the helm for
the last 15 years. I am so glad that he will continue to work on
behalf of press freedom, taking a longer-range view of the systemic
challenges.

I look forward to CPJ's next chapter, led by Jodie Ginsberg. I
know you join me in wishing her our warmest congratulations.

Kathleen Carroll
Chair, CPJ Board of Directors
