CPJ launched Monday its annual #FreeThePress campaign to raise awareness of journalists imprisoned worldwide. This year, the campaign highlights five journalists jailed for their work. Supporters are encouraged to send physical or digital postcards so that the journalists know they are not forgotten and the governments jailing them know that the world is watching. There has never been a more dangerous time to be a journalist. Spread the message and support imprisoned journalists worldwide by hosting your own postcard event.Whether you are gathering a group of friends or speaking to a classroom of students, CPJ can provide all the materials you need to host a #FreeThePress postcard writing session: Learn about CPJ’s work with this video. Download biographies of this year’s spotlight cases. Send digital postcards to the journalists using their campaign pages via this link. Share photos of your event or highlight your support on social media using the hashtag #FreeThePress.If you are interested in obtaining physical postcards, or in the possibility of inviting a CPJ speaker to facilitate your session in person or remotely, please contact [email protected]. -- source link
