WHO WE ARE: IPI is a global network of editors, media executives and leading journalists dedicated to furthering and safeguarding press freedom, promoting the free flow of news and information, and improving the practices of journalism. It was formed at Columbia University following the Second World War by 34 leading editors from 15 countries on the belief that a free press would contribute to the creation of a better world. IPI today includes members in more than 100 countries across the globe united in the belief that freedom of expression is “the right that protects all other rights” and must be protected and defended. WHAT WE DO: IPI promotes press freedom via: - Written protests - Press Freedom missions to global hot spots - Events like our World Congress and General Assembly - Publications including the World Press Freedom Review WHY PRESS FREEDOM MATTERS: In too many countries, journalists continue to be persecuted simply for doing their jobs. Each year dozens are killed. The IPI Death Watch details these stories at: http://www.freemedia.at/our-activities/death-watch.html Such attacks often conceal broader patterns of criminality or human rights abuses which may continue unabated, simply because no one is allowed to tell their stories.
