Dear Friend,

I hope you’ll join me for this 30-minute discussion, led by Managing Editor Kirstin McCudden and Senior Reporter Stephanie Sugars. This is another FPF project near and dear to my heart, as I was hands-on in the database process in 2020 during the spike of journalist assaults and arrests at protests.

Explore with us the nearly 2,000 press freedom violations in the data-based website, and how its new, more intuitive redesign can highlight trends on the state of press freedom and democracy. The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker is the go-to source for:

• Up-to-date and searchable data on press freedom aggressions in the U.S.

• Original reporting on arrests and assaults of journalists.

• In-depth original analysis on the evolving state of press freedom.

If you already support our work but haven’t yet opted-in to the membership program, email me at [email protected] today! Or sponsor an independent journalist who needs our help by passing forward a Journalist membership ($84/yr).

Your membership is more than just a donation. When you become a member, you’ll learn digital security directly from the experts who secure newsrooms across the world, explore real-time data visualizations on press freedom with the Tracker and hear directly from FPF board members with our fireside chats.

Thank you, and I look forward to learning more about the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker with you on March 30!

Sincerely,

Ryan Rice
