The data gathered by the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker informs journalism.

The Tracker, a project of Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), forms the backbone of reporting, legal action, and advocacy efforts around press freedom violations in the United States.

Its data gives context to local and national threats to journalists and journalism, and helps shed light on individual incidents.
