The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is an American independent non-profit, non-governmental organization, based in New York City, with correspondents around the world. CPJ promotes press freedom and defends the rights of journalists. The American Journalism Review has called the organization, "Journalism's Red Cross."[2] Since the late 1980s CPJ has been publishing an annual census of journalists killed or imprisoned in relation to their work.[3]
