It’s no secret that press freedom is under threat both in the U.S. and around the world. Worse yet, journalists are increasingly attacked by authoritarians who refuse to bow to public pressure.
At Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), we’re not just advocating for press freedom rights—we are also building technology to protect journalists and whistleblowers where lawmakers refuse to help. If politicians won’t protect the rights of journalists, we will.
Threats to press freedom around the world are at an all-time high. Sign up to stay up to date and take action to protect journalists and whistleblowers everywhere.

And without our supporters, our donors, and the brave journalists and whistleblowers who put their lives on the line, none of our work would be possible.  with a donation by clicking here!
We also continued our work on the next generation of SecureDrop, the SecureDrop Workstation, which will offer journalists a more chat-like experience for interacting with anonymous sources, while maintaining critical security protections for journalists and sources.
We also partnered with USC’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism to incorporate digital security practices into the curricula of their journalism school. Read more about this partnership, here.
The role of journalism in our democracy matters now more than ever and we are grateful for your support of our important work. Below is our 2019 Impact Report, outlining the work we’ve accomplished in the past year, an overview of our major projects and initiatives, and how we will be expanding on our work in 2020.
