The latest, definitive assessment of the state of free press around the world
Attacks on the Press is a comprehensive, annual account of press conditions worldwide, focusing this year on the new face of censorship perpetrated by governments and non-state actors.
Compiled by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), the 2017 edition documents new dangers and threats to journalists and to the free and independent media. The risks are a combination of familiar censorship tactics applied in novel ways, and the exertion of pressure through unconventional means or at unprecedented levels. These censorship efforts range from withholding advertising to online trolling, website blocking to physical harassment, imprisonment to the murder of journalists.
In the Americas, governments and non-state actors use new, sometimes subtle ways to limit journalists' ability to investigate wrongdoing. In Europe, authorities deploy intelligence services to intimidate the press in the name of national security. In Asia, governments block access to information online, and in some cases, punish those who manage to get around the obstacles. And throughout the world, terror groups are using the threat of targeted murder to compel journalists to refrain from covering crucial stories or otherwise self-censor.
Attacks on the Press documents how these new forms of censorship are perpetrated and provides journalists with guidance on how to work around them, when possible, and how to ensure their own safety as well as the safety of their sources and people with whom they work. The book enables readers to:
CPJ's mission is to defend the rights of journalists to report the news without fear of reprisal. Attacks on the Press provides a platform for direct advocacy with governments and the diplomatic community, for giving voice to journalists globally, and for ensuring that those journalists have a seat in discussions at the United Nations, the Organization of American States, the European Union, the African Union, and others.

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is an independent, nonprofit organization founded in 1981 to promote press freedom worldwide by defending the rights of journalists to report the news without fear of reprisal. CPJ was formed by a group of U.S. foreign correspondents in response to the often brutal treatment of their foreign colleagues by authoritarian governments and other enemies of independent journalism and operates with a full-time staff of 23 at its New York headquarters, including area specialists for each major world region, a Washington, DC representative, and consultants stationed around the world. A 35-member board of prominent journalists directs CPJ's activities and they are funded solely by contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations. CPJ does not accept government funding.
THE DEFINITIVE, COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF GLOBAL PRESS FREEDOM
When Christiane Amanpour warns American journalists about their own safety and the viability of the free press in the United States—long considered a bastion of press freedom—she evokes a notable escalation in attacks on the media across the globe.
Amanpour is one of 20 journalists and experts from around the world who document the new and alarming faces of censorship by governments and non-state actors for the 2017 edition of the Committee to Protect Journalists' Attacks on the Press.
Among the threats that journalists and the media face are the erosion of what have long been seen as established protections, the targeting of journalists by terrorists to limit news coverage, the imprisonment of reporters and photographers who refuse to toe the official line, the withholding of access to officials and public documents, online harassment, and the wielding of financial leverage such as advertising and credit scores. Efforts to suppress the free press are becoming more complex—and arguably, more pervasive—than ever before.
Attacks on the Press is the definitive guide to the state of press freedom around the globe, and within its pages, journalists and media observers examine these new abuses, expose nations that violate press freedom with impunity, and provide potential solutions—including guidance on possible work-arounds, how to ensure the safety of journalists and their sources, and how to fight against the powers that seek to silence criticism and call into question the media's credibility.
