6/7 Calling a press workspace ‘classified’ does not make the government more transparent. It creates yet another obstacle between journalists and the information Americans have a right to know, especially at a moment when the public needs clear, unfiltered information about the U.S. military.

7/7 Independent reporting on the U.S. military is not optional. When journalists are pushed farther from the institutions they cover, the American people are left with less information, less transparency, and less oversight. Any effort to restrict that access should alarm everyone who values a free and informed society.”

3/4 CPJ joins a long list of organizations that have been effectively criminalized for daring to speak out against ever-restricting avenues for free expression in the country. These include but are not limited to Reporters Without Borders, the International Women’s Media Foundation, and exiled Russian media outlets.

4/4 Journalism is not a crime, and the work of CPJ to defend the rights of independent journalists is not illegal. As avenues to challenge official Kremlin propaganda close, CPJ’s commitment to continue to stand by Russian journalists attacked, imprisoned and forced into exile remains vital.”

7/7 Policies that broadly restrict communication with the press raise serious constitutional concerns and weaken long-standing norms that protect both free expression and independent journalism. The First Amendment protects not only the right to publish, but the right to speak and share information of public concern.”
