Attacks on the Press, 2014 ― Journalism on the World's Front Lines

Attacks on the Press analyzes press conditions and documents new dangers in more than 100 countries worldwide. In the Americas, national leaders are building elaborate state media operations to dominate the news and amplify their personal agendas. In European and African nations, authorities are invoking national security laws and deploying intelligence services to intimidate the press. The Committee to Protect Journalists' Attacks on the Press is a definitive annual assessment of the state of press freedoms featuring analytical essays by CPJ experts with an overview of media conditions and anti-press violations. Attacks on the Press is a platform for direct advocacy with governments and the diplomatic community, and gives voice to journalists globally and a seat in discussions at the United Nations, Organization of American States, European Union , and African Union to name a few. Compiled by the Committee to Protect Journalists, an independent nonprofit organization, Attacks on the Press is the world's most comprehensive guide to international press freedom.

The Committee to Protect Journalists is an independent, nonprofit organization founded in 1981 by a group of U.S. correspondents in response to the often brutal treatment of their foreign colleagues by authoritarian regimes and other enemies of independent journalism. Operating with a full-time staff of 27 at its New York headquarters and correspondents around the world, its mission is to promote press freedom worldwide by defending the rights of journalists to report the news without fear of reprisal. A 37-member board of prominent journalists directs CPJ's activities. CPJ does not accept government funding and is financed solely by contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations.
