CPJ in action around the world
With more than 60 staff, representatives, and correspondents,
CPJ's international presence extends from Abuja to Vilnius.
During the last month, CPJ participated in conferences, provided
safety workshops for journalists on the ground, engaged in a
fact-finding mission, and monitored court proceedings. For this issue
of Insider, we're taking a look at a few of those trips and how
they inform our work. Learn more »

CPJ interviewed a long-time press freedom advocate and journalist,
José Zamora, the son of Guatemalan journalist and founder of
elPeriódico, José Rubén Zamora. Zamora's
father--who won CPJ's International Press Freedom Award in
1995--was arrested in late July and remains in pre-trial detention in
Mariscal Zaval prison in Guatemala City. "

My dad is an example," Zamora told CPJ, "but the broader message is
for everyone, and that is that they are going to persecute any
critical voice."
CPJ's North America Program Coordinator Katherine Jacobsen wrote a
briefing on the legal battle over slain Las Vegas Review-Journal
reporter Jeff German's devices, why they need to be protected,
and why it's concerning that they are still in police custody. "

German's colleagues and press freedom groups, including CPJ,
want to protect the slain reporter's confidential sources,
cultivated over a decades-long career covering local politics and
organized crime."
Aleksei Obukhov, co-founder and senior editor of SOTA, spoke with CPJ
via messaging app about what it's like to be one of the few
independent media outlets still reporting from inside Russia, the
links between journalism and activism, and what he expects Russian
journalism to look like in the future. "

We stopped putting bylines on stories written by journalists in
Russia," Obukhov tells CPJ, "as a way to minimize their risks. We
refused to self-censor."
