Reporting and advocacy - fpf's us press freedom tracker is a news site and database that comprehensively documents virtually every press freedom violation in the united states, including the number of journalists arrested, stopped at the border, subpoenaed, physically attacked, surveilled, and more. Fpf's advocay team fights on both a local and national level for robust press freedom rights on a variety of issues including reporter's privilege, the right to publish, the freedom of information act, the protection of whistleblowers, and government transparency.
