An independent media is vital for democracy. Access to information enables all people to make decisions and hold the powerful to account.

A world without journalism is a world without truth.

As a journalistic community we must craft and replicate a playbook to stand up together. Solidarity matters. At #GIJC25, CPJ and more than 1,500 journalists called on governments to free imprisoned journalists and end impunity for those who attack the press.

Journalists are civilians under international humanitarian law.

Facilities and equipment utilized for reporting and disseminating news are also civilian structures.

They must be respected and protected.

Journalists are #NotATarget.

Tonight from NYC: CPJ’s 35th Annual International #PressFreedom Awards 🏆 For the first time in CPJ's history, none of our International #PressFreedom Awardees are able to attend the ceremony.

Their absence is a powerful reminder of why CPJ's advocacy for press freedom is more important than ever.

“‘Things happen.’ Just two words. That’s all it took for Donald Trump to effectively dismiss what is probably the most infamous journalist killing of the last decade.” — CPJ’s CEO @jodieginsberg.bsky.social writes in an op-ed for @theguardian.com.

"Donald Trump’s claims that Mohammed bin Salman knew nothing about the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi directly contradict a CIA report concluding the crown prince approved it." — CPJ MENA's Regional Director Sara Qudah
"Donald Trump’s claims that Mohammed bin Salman knew nothing about the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi directly contradict a CIA report concluding the crown prince approved it. This deliberate whitewashing of the past — alongside an attempt to blame the victim — marks a new low for an administration that shows at every turn how little regard it has for truth or the free press. Trump's remark that 'things happen' and that 'a lot of people didn’t like' Khashoggi echoes the president’s broader efforts to minimize and justify attacks on the press." — CPJ MENA Regional Director Sara Qudah
