Freedom of the press is essential to human rights, and encourages a strong civil society with healthy and sustainable social, political, and economic development. This guide publicly reveals the latest abuses against the press, providing a comprehensive guide to international press freedom, including:
Those who seek to expose injustices and spread information become easy targets under repressive regimes, during civil war, and in myriad other conditions that empower those who threaten freedom in any form.

THE DEFINITIVE, COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF GLOBAL PRESS FREEDOM
In her story about being kidnapped and raped for reporting on Colombia's crime cartels?a harrowing account in the 2016 edition of the Committee to Protect Journalists' Attacks on the Press?Jineth Bedoya Lima makes clear that genderrelated threats to journalists are painfully real, but that they go beyond personal safety. As she was being raped by her captors, Bedoya writes, one of them told her they were sending a message to the media. The brutality was an effort to silence them.
Among the threats that journalists and the media face, some, such as Bedoya's, are specifically gender-related, which is the focus of this edition of Attacks on the Press. Through powerful essays, original reporting, and personal accounts by journalists and CPJ experts, the book examines gender-based online harassment, physical attacks, and institutional discrimination.
Also explored is a strong countercurrent: the courage and perseverance of those who suffer such attacks, from transgender reporters in Uganda to female journalists covering the Libyan conflict from self-imposed exile; from a young reporter who engages Islamic State fighters on social media to the wives, mothers, and friends who spearhead efforts to gain justice for journalists who have gone missing, are imprisoned, or have been killed. The book also provides expert guidance on how to deal with gender-related threats and restrictions, including safety measures and advocacy with the diplomatic community.
Attacks on the Press is the definitive guide to the state of press freedom around the globe, exposing abuses while exploring potential solutions.
