Dear Press Freedom Supporter, 
 
Before you fill out your ballot to cast your vote, the decisions you
make about that vote will depend on access to reliable
information-information made possible by a journalist who could
report the news freely.

Yet, increasingly, that can be dangerous and difficult work for
journalists.

"Maintain a low profile and gauge the mood of crowds toward the media
before entering any situation [...] take the time to plan an exit
strategy in case the situation turns violent [...] if you are working
alone or after dark, be extra vigilant," CPJ's 2022 midterm election
journalist safety kit advises to those covering this year's
elections.

The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker, which CPJ co-founded, has documented
at least 34 assaults against journalists in 2022--making such safety
advice a necessity for newsrooms covering elections. 

Through the midterms, CPJ is standing with journalists so they can
continue to bring us the news safely and without fear of reprisal.
Their ability to do so ensures we're able to make timely, accurate
decisions at the ballot box. 
 
You can stand with them, too--with a gift to CPJ today!

John D. Weis
Director of Development & Outreach
