Dear Press Freedom Supporter,
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine enters a new week, CPJ is taking
steps to help journalists covering the war do so as safely as
possible. This starts with safety advice issued to journalists in
English, Ukrainian, and Russian, which give guidance for scenarios
journalists may face while reporting from a war zone. "Get to
know the 'battlefield,'" we tell journalists,
"including where the front lines are and how fluid they
are."
For Ukrainian journalists in particular, the front lines don't stop on
the field. CPJ curated a collection of their experiences and is
updating it regularly, providing a window into their world:

Translation: "Sitting in the metro with my 17-year-old relative,
Nastia, who is from Kherson [a city in southern Ukraine on the Black
Sea]. 'Out there where a fire burns for the right to live
freely,' she sings while we still have a signal. Kyiv is facing
a terrifying night, but believes in its future."
As the conflict continues to unfold, accurate, timely, and independent
reporting will be critical for survival on the ground and
decision-making that affects our world. CPJ's team is working around
the clock to document detentions and other press freedom violations.
Already, two Danish journalists were wounded in Eastern Ukraine and a
TV tower was bombed in Kyiv. Beyond Ukraine, as Russians have taken to
the streets in anti-war demonstrations, we are also documenting
arrests there. "At this critical moment," CPJ Executive Director
Robert Mahoney says, "it is crucial that all parties involved
recognize that all journalists and media workers are civilians under
international humanitarian law, and their rights must be respected and
protected."

As the reporting of journalists in Ukraine enters the historical
record, their coverage keeps us informed -- and keeps the world
accountable. We will stand by them, defend them, and help keep them
safe thanks to your continued support of our work.
